This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/6.8.0-81.81 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux' to 'verification-done-noble-linux'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble- linux' to 'verification-failed-noble-linux'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This is caused by a packet loss problem introduced by the commit from stable update: 96d4a384ccc2edfe5 e1000e: change k1 configuration on MTP and later platforms The packet loss problem reproduces with the 100% rate, when no packet can be sent and received by the Ethernet controller, eventually block the DCHP process. Although there is an RFC patch [1] from upstream mailing list, it simply introduces a module parameter which can turn the k1 configuration off. That being said, turning off the k1 configuration would increase the system's power consumption. [ Fix ] For the temporary solution, we revert the following patch: 96d4a384ccc2edfe5 e1000e: change k1 configuration on MTP and later platforms [ Test Plan ] 1. Boot into Ubuntu kernel with Ethernet cable unplugged 2. Plug the Ethernet cable into the machine 3. Check if the system can get IP address from a DHCP server [ Where problems could occur ] Reverting the commit might cause minor packet loss on some platform, said by the Intel Ethernet maintainer. That being said, we have not observed it on our certified machines.
