I saw some archived threads from a while back saying this could be related to conntracking. Disabled that (rmmod ip_conntrack) did not fix the problem. I also tried disabling tso but that didn't have any effect either. I can reproduce the problem when connected to a 100Mbps switch (I don't have a GigE network to test this with). This laptop uses the Intel 82573L (PCI-Express) chip. I'd be glad to assist with any toubleshooting/testing w.r.t this. I am not subscribed to the list, so please cc me on any replies. Thank you, Aravind.
