Same problem here, even though the manifestation was much worse. Never had this 
problem with 11.04 or 11.10.
It is my impression that 12.04 behaved correctly initially though.

To me bug 1009878 sounds different. In that case, the driver stops working 
altogether.
Here it simply resets itself.

It could be related to rekeying; see these very recent messages on the
kernel list:

With the following configuration, I get the "stuck queue" less
frequently and I can reach high transfer rates (whereas before I was
limited to ~50Kbyte/s). Network-manager leads to worse results (more log
messages, lower rates).
