Meik, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Did this issue not occur in a prior release (14.10)?

Title:
  Ethernet interface stops working after a few seconds

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After plugging a ethernet cable into the laptop (Dell Latitude E7440),
  Network Manager picks up as expected, requests a IP address and
  configures the interface. After a couple of seconds, the interface
  stops working. The interface start to response to packets only after
  unplugging the cable and plugging it in again; disabling and enabling
  the interface does not help.

  With dmesg I can see some ACPI errors everytime I plug a cable:

  [   76.322029] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None
  [   81.345308] ACPI Error: Index value 0x0000000000000083 overflows field width 0x7 (20150619/exfldio-341)
  [   81.345329] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\NEVT] (Node ffff88040e0c7258), AE_AML_REGISTER_LIMIT (20150619/psparse-536)
  [   81.345344] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.ECDV._Q66] (Node ffff88040e0c4b90), AE_AML_REGISTER_LIMIT (20150619/psparse-536)

  The 15 second gap between "Link is Up" and the ACPI error matches
  nicely the max. 15 ping echoes received.

  I found bug 1501993 " drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:12326
  check_crtc_state+0x2c5/0x440 [i915]() ", which has a completely
  different effect, but states exactly the same ACPI errors in comment
  #35.

  Tried BIOS A16, A10 and A04, also kernels  4.2.0-18-generic
  (current),  4.2.0-16-generic and the vanilla 4.3.0-040300-generic, but
  without any effect or changed behaviour.
