I have installed Intrepid from scratch, removing all the cruft from previous installations in the process.
My machine now seems to work flawlessly with Compiz running. No dropped connections. I should note that I did have changed the graphics acceleration to from XAA to EXA to solve another problem with hangs in Compiz. This is the major change. I also added a few extra lines which I don't understand (below the EXA change) to xorg.conf: Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "AccelDFS" "off" Option "AGPMode" "1" Option "AGPFaseWrise" "1" It may be that all this has nothing to do with the network droppings, but there did appear to be a relationship between compiz and the dropped connections. -- Unreliable network connection with B44 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
