Public bug reported: After plugging a ethernet cable into the laptop (Dell Latitude E7440), Network Manager picks up as expected, requests a IP address and configures the interface. After a couple of seconds, the interface stops working. The interface start to response to packets only after unplugging the cable and plugging it in again; disabling and enabling the interface does not help.
With dmesg I can see some ACPI errors everytime I plug a cable: [ 76.322029] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None [ 81.345308] ACPI Error: Index value 0x0000000000000083 overflows field width 0x7 (20150619/exfldio-341) [ 81.345329] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\NEVT] (Node ffff88040e0c7258), AE_AML_REGISTER_LIMIT (20150619/psparse-536) [ 81.345344] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.ECDV._Q66] (Node ffff88040e0c4b90), AE_AML_REGISTER_LIMIT (20150619/psparse-536) The 15 second gap between "Link is Up" and the ACPI error matches nicely the max. 15 ping echoes received. I found bug 1501993 " drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:12326 check_crtc_state+0x2c5/0x440 [i915]() ", which has a completely different effect, but states exactly the same ACPI errors in comment #35. Tried BIOS A16, A10 and A04, also kernels 4.2.0-18-generic (current), 4.2.0-16-generic and the vanilla 4.3.0-040300-generic, but without any effect or changed behaviour.
