I'm having some really odd issues with the networking on this old Intel se7501wv2
The network card onboard is an Intel Corporation 82546EB
I'm getting quite a lot of "[Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out" when I attempt to download updates on this machine.
Other machines on my network do not appear to be plagued with the same disconnect problems.
Not sure what kernel flags I should try, I've tried noht and noapic at the moment.
I've also tried setting the network card to half duplex to see if that helps. ethtool -s eth0 duplex half
No luck so far.
