In the Launchpad Bug reports https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1005699, see item #24 for the fix. The discussion talks about a tigon3 (broadcom) driver problem in the kernel. The 3.0.24 and below tree had this error but as Ubuntu now has support for a 3.0.25-40 kernel the bug has been fixed. Item #20 talks the details of how this problem was discovered by working back from the development kernels 3.4, 3.3, and 3.2 and how it was discovered what the tg3_stop_block_error means. It is a problem with TSO. TSO stands for TCP Segmentation offload. Ubuntu 12.04 (Non LTS) came with a kernel older than 3.0.25. What happened in the pre 3.0.25 kernel is explained by Matt Carlson here
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should do the trick because it will install a newer kernel including the drivers required to solve this problem. |
