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

As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.29). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Linux kernel holds lost ethernet connections

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If a connection to a router is lost while you have active ethernet
  connections to hosts (on the Internet), networking can't be resumed
  before all connections are closed. Many software packages repeatedly
  try to resume their lost connections, which must lead to a human
  intervention to quit all software before the connection to the router
  is re-established.

  Seems as it is the kernel that prevents connections to the router, by
  holding lost connections.

  Even if you in disable networking by selecting "Enable Networking"
  from the drop down menu, and re-enable it, you can't get through to
  the router before all user software has quit and closed all
  connections holding the lost host connections.

  This bug has existed for a long time(=years), but I have never learnt
  what the error could be.
