After some Internet research it seems this issue is already fixed in mainline kernel: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9cf94eab8b309e8bcc78b41dd1561c75b537dd0b
I will try to cherry-pick to latest ubuntu kernel and report back the results. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1503902 Title: Network stops working after inserting nf_conntrack.ko to kernel Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: While evaluating Wily for further use I found that after random period of time Internet connection drops (while IP stack is configured properly) and system message log gets quickly filled with following messages: Oct 07 14:06:25 hikari kernel: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet Oct 07 14:06:26 hikari kernel: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet Problem occurs only if I manually load nf_conntrack or related kernel modules or start Shorewall (which loads nf_conntrack obviously). Removing nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack and dependent modules fixes problem and restores Internet connection. With older builds of linux kernel (4.1.0-*) everything works as expected.
