If you are suddenly seeing a painfully slow network connection on Ubuntu, with lots of dropped packets, chances are that you recently upgraded the kernel and restarted the computer to use that kernel.
In my case, the problem was a bad ethernet Realtek driver, which was included with (or chosen by) the new kernel(r8169). The solution is to patch the kernel to use the correct driver (r8168), which is free from this issue.
The steps to fix this issue are simple... ( source - this page )
- Download the Linux driver from here.
- Extract it somewhere.
- Run "sudo ./autorun.sh"
Enjoy the fast speed...
