[Bug 2031240] [NEW] Ethernet gradually disconnects/crashes after update to Kernel 6.2.0-26

[Alan Draper]

Public bug reported:

I received an Ubuntu update which included a new Kernel 6.2.0-26, after
rebooting everything seemed ok, I launched qBittorrent as I normally
have this application running on my laptop, and thought no more of it,
about 15 minutes later I notice qBittorrent was no longer uploading,
this seemed a bit strange so I opened Firefox to run a Google speed
test, thereby checking my internet connection as well, but I had nothing
no internet. I rebooted my Acer Aspire A515-55 laptop and followed the
same procedure as before, and once again after some minutes I had no
internet/network connection again.

With my laptop using a wired connection I unplugged the ethernet cable
and my internet was stable and worked fine using WiFi, I managed to
carry out some Google searches and eventually discovered I'd received a
new Kernel and this was likely to be the cause of this problem, so with
some further research I was able to use Grub Customizer to revert back
to the previous Kernel 5.19.0-50-generic, after doing so and plugging in
the ethernet cable again launching qBittorrent everything worked as it
should without dropping the network/internet.

This is a consistently repeatable problem, which I responded to a thread on ubuntuforums.org to someone else having a similar problem after the Kernel update, and was asked to make a bug report.

Without launching qBittorrent v4.5.4 (64 bit) my network/internet has
remained connected, however if I resume my uploads then the
internet/network does dropout again, only by reverting back to the
previous Kernel can I carry on with a stable connection.
