Public bug reported:
I run Ubuntu Dapper on a Vaio laptop ( SZ1M/B ).
When I try to download or upload "big" data (by "big" I mean anything requiring
more than a few second download with a DSL connection or web surfing), the
ethernet connection crashes and I can't reactivate it using system >
administration > network.
The only way is to reboot the computer.
I can't determine any size threshold because the amount of data I can
download/upload seems to vary (from 3-4 Mo to 100-150 Mo basically)... It's
more like the card is "overheating" when having too much work ;-)
It happens when using bittorrent (or other P2P softwares) but also with shared
folders on the internal network (samba or NFS) or with FTP protocol. It doesn't
depend on the connection topology: I tried several networks, I changed the
cable, I changed the routeur (I even tried in another country). It's not the
hardware either since it works when I run windows.
Here is what "sudo lspci -v" returns:
0000:07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8036 Fast

I don't know what else to give you to help so just ask and I'll provide
the required data!
Thanks a lot :)
