I'm also effected by this bug.
Just I'm using up-to-date ubuntu 11.10 and have similar problem.
The difference between my machine and reporters that:
1) I have "packet loss" when I ping my default gateway (aprox. 25%)
2) ifconfig tells me:
RX packets:1140608 errors:0 dropped:1140608 overruns:0 frame:1140608

The connection is stable but slow...
