@jsalisbury, yes, I can do that. Let me just finish my current test and
I can run on that kernel as well.

@brad-figg: Ok, I try to summarize because I created a lot of confusion
here:

1. I've been running all the Kubuntu versions since some years, so
including Natty, Oneiric etc... I always update to the latest version
when it is available. With this hardware I've never had issues with
previous versions of Kubuntu.

2. Yes, I installed 12.04 and I started to experience this.

3. I didn't install the Natty kernel, it was installed already since the
previous versions of Kubuntu. I had available 2.6.38 and 3.0.0 (and 3.2
of course). None of those worked. I tested more than once.

4. Any test I run so far failed on this installation (network shut
down). Also recovery mode and the proposal of mjan.

5. What I noticed so far is that when network load is high, the network
seems to shut down sooner. Recovery mode for instance may last for more
than a day. If instead I run mldonkey in recovery mode, after some hours
I expect to see the network down. But this is only something I noticed,
might only be a coincidence.

6. The only thing that I still haven't seen failing is the Precise live
CD. I'm trying to load the network using iperf and downloading from the
Internet continuously. Still no failure after a couple of days. I'll
wait for some more days. But unfortunately, with the live CD I'm not
able to run servers like apache, proftpd, svn, mldonkey etc... that I
use in my common installation. Booting from USB is not supported by the
hardware.

7. I had the chance to try kernel 3.4, thanks to a kind guy on irc. That
failed as well. I still have to try 3.5.
