Comment 10 for bug 1785171

The loss of the Internet connectivity on Ubuntu Server 18.04- continues to be an issue with the Intel i219-v onboard Ethernet adapter. I just lost the Internet connectivity on the Ubuntu 18.04 server and I was not even doing anything on the server.

I just logged in and the Internet connectivity had dropped. There's no way this should be happening if the OS/driver software was driving the Ethernet adaptor properly.

I've run several experiments over the last few weeks on the performance and stability with both the NetworkManager and networkd services. I was thinking that maybe the networkd implementation by Ubuntu Server was stable, but that's was a no go as well. Same behaviour as with NetworkManager.

I'm going to have to remove Ubuntu Server 18.04 (probably go back to CentOS Server 7.4) if Ubuntu Server 18.04 can't manage the required networking. Simply should not be an issue given the long-term proven technologies involved with Ethernet and IP networking.

Thanks.
