I had similar problems on my T60 with Suse and Debian. I spend days
searching and testing various solutions published on the net. Most only
fixed the problem on the first sight... but than various problems
appeared when using the 24h/7d. Especialy receiving data at high speed
or many small two-way requests (pop3 email...) often started showing the
problems. I even tried various cardbus/express card network cards and
none worked reliable making the problem even more worse as I had no
reliable network connection at all.

In the end, all problems were solved after disabling ASPM in the network
driver (e1000 or e1000e).  I did publish a fix description for the e1000
an how to install it on Suse without recompiling a kernel. As this is
just a patch for the e1000 orig e1000 sourceforge driver, I see no major
reason why the description doesn't also apply to Ubuntu if the
sourceforge e1000 driver compiles/installs fine. Maybe you want to try
it beside disabling NAPI:

Last time I checked, the current orig. 2.6.25 kernel has ASPM disabled
by default and uses the e1000e module.
