I've made progress! A workaround solution is
Code: Select all
sudo ip link set eth0 mtu 1496
Update 2:
I apologize for the confusion, it comes from trying to write a post after working on a problem all night.
The correct story is as follows. The ethernet wired connection and LM 13 Maya installation works correctly on my home base, but here in Mexico connected to ethernet wired connection, I get really bad framing errors making access to the internet impossible.
Code: Select all
ifconfig

The Windows partition on the machine works perfectly, no problems.
In the mean time, in desperation, I D/Ld LM17.1 under windows, setup up a USB boot stick and installed LM17.1 - and voila, no dropped frames. Except that I can't get the SIS671 video drivers to work under 17.1, but that's a different battlefield. I now reinstalled LM13 and the dropped frames problem is back again. So it looks like the lack of SIS support is scr*ing me both on LM13 and on LM17.1
