Bug#908702: linux-image-4.18.0-1-amd64 prevents use of internet (more or less)
Package: linux-image-4.18.0-1-amd64
Version: 4.18.6-1
Severity: Grave
Dear maintainer,
after today's upgrade from 4.17.0-3 to 4.18.0-1 internet access is hardly possible anymore. Speed is less than 5 % of what is used to be and for that reason the browser frequently shows "No internet connection" instead of a webpage.
Checking with another system at the same time shows that the internet connection as such is working fine. Booting the system with the old kernel 4.17.0-3 the problem does not arise, so the problem most probably is caused by 4.18.0-1 (or a package used by 4.18.0-1 but not by 4.17.0-3) and not by jointly used packages or hardware. Log files are identical as far as I can see and my system is up to date (tracking testing, just missing the most recent updates of irrelevant packages like libreoffice and vlc). Connection to the internet is by LAN to a Huawei LTE router.
Due to bug #908578 I could not use reportbug to file this bug. Sorry if this means that some information is missing.
Best regards
G. Heine
