Public bug reported: After upgrading to Precise, precisely every 10 minutes the network goes down and reconnects. The machine is connected via Ethernet and gets an address with DHCP. I've verified that the Ethernet link isn't actually going down when this happens and that the DHCP lease isn't expiring.
There's a whole cascade of syslog messages that appear when this happens, starting with: > Apr 16 10:24:41 hot-27 NetworkManager[1041]: <info> (eth0): device state > change: activated -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [100 120 5] > Apr 16 10:24:42 hot-27 NetworkManager[1041]: <warn> Activation (eth0) failed. > Apr 16 10:24:42 hot-27 NetworkManager[1041]: <info> (eth0): device state > change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none') [120 30 0] > Apr 16 10:24:42 hot-27 NetworkManager[1041]: <info> (eth0): deactivating > device (reason 'none') [0] The messages above are often preceded by a message like this (the machine is in a native IPv6 environment), although it doesn't happen exactly every 10 minutes like the NM disconnect: > Apr 16 10:22:06 hot-27 kernel: [ 1102.631666] ICMPv6 RA: > ndisc_router_discovery() failed to add default route.
