To whom is may concern. I found the workaround for this. The trick is to set the boot kernel parameter "pcie_aspm=off" in '/etc/default/grub'
Like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash pcie_aspm=off" After that run; update-grub pcie_aspm is some sort of power management thingie which probably puts my networkcontroller to sleep or something. And putting a usb memory stick in the laptop some how wakes it up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-oem-5.6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931977 Title: e1000e extremly slow Status in linux-oem-5.6 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: We have dell latitude 5420 & 5520 laptops with onboard intel ethernet controller. Problem is that the ethernet port is extremely slow. about 100kbyte/s download throughput while on a gigabit connection. Upload seems to work just fine. Also when I pxe boot the system it's also painfully slow. But here comes the funny part. When I attach a usb memory stick the throughput of the networkcontroller is as expected. I've used latest ubuntu 20.04.2 kernel 5.6.0-1032-oem (Certified by ubuntu and dell) I've used latest ubuntu 20.04.2 kernel 5.10.0-1029-oem I've used latest ubuntu 20.04.2 kernel 5.8.0-55 Turns out this problem is not showing up when I manually install the 5.8.18 kernel. Also when I create my own iso with the help of Cubic and install the 5.8.18 kernel in it the pxe boot is working as expected with high throughput system: Dell latitude 5420 + 5520 nic: Ethernet Connection (13) I219-LM ubuntu 20.04.2 module: e1000e Please assist.
