Chris, it's working now. No idea why. I changed nothing. (At least not
intentionally.)

Never tried ethernet in the hotel, but noticed yesterday evening that
there is an ethernet port in my room. Plugged a cable in and it worked.
No dropped pings, no stalled connections. Also tried it this morning in
the office, with the same cable as yesterday and today it works.

This really qualifies for "more magic". http://www.catb.org/jargon/html
/magic-story.html

The only remarkable thing is that I bought a usb ethernet adapter
yesterday evening, but tried the integrated port in the hotel before
trying the usb adapter. The ACPI message still show up in the syslog,
but as the behaviour has changed (ethernet working again), they are
probably not related.

Thanks for your help, but without a flaw to investigate, we probably
have to close this bug.

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.
