I have a lot of network problems since I made the upgrade to the 11.10

In our company, We have 3 computers upgraded to the 11.10. Every one of this have network problems. The other computers are under Ubutun 11.04 ands works fine.

The network problem are not constants, sometimes after a reboot it's working. But if there are a problem I stay since a reboot. For example we have :

  • Connection troubles : streaming music does not work more than 30s, a lot of AJAX request does not work.
  • Error on requesting a webpage, the browser (firefox, chromium) doesn't find the hosts
  • Error often on requesting a webpage for a /etc/hosts host
  • Error on ssh or scp, display the message : no root to host
  • Error on svn.

We already tried :

  • Desactivate IP v6
  • Install Wicd instead of "Network Manager"
  • Replace the /etc/resolv.conf by static data
  • etc.

Is somebody have an idea ?

Thanks a lot !

See you, Thomas.

It seems to be a Linux kernel bug.
We roll back to the 2.6.38 and everything is fine again.
To do that, we just installed Grub Customizer [French link]

Also it should be possible to remove old unused Linux Kernel Headers like this [English link]

I have news about our network problem.
It's seems to be an icmp-redirect bug with Linux kernel >= 3.0.0
The kernel adds entries in the ARP table from ICMP redirect message and should not.

The solution is :

  1. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf to add :
    net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects=0
    net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects=0
  2. Reboot
