Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: powernap

On my  machine, 
upon changing the ethernet connection speed (as done by the 
/etc/pm/power.d/eth_speed script), TCP connections seems to be lost.
This cause, among other things, remote SSH session to be immediately lost.

This is extra nasty if, as I did, you put:
[TCPMonitor]
ssh = 22
in  /etc/powernap/config

Then the following events occurs:
* a user open a remote SSH session
* powernap reacts by running action.d scripts
* eth_speed script change ethernet speed setting
* the SSH connection is lost and thus the opening of the remote session fails.

The workaround is to attempt a reconnect very quickly before another
power transition occurs

The NIC is a standard RTL8111/8168B
