Having been hit by the kernel bug that interferes with internet access & having to downgrade the kernel to escape the bug. I am happy to say that after reading a bug report on the subject here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11721
Courtesy of a link posted by Misfit138, 8-) I found deep down in the report dialogue that the following command as root, worked for the poster of the bug:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
So I did a yaourt -Syu & found amongst other packages a minor kernel update, which did not solve my internet problems, but after su, & then entering the above command in the Terminal my internet works as it should! :-D 8-)
If this solution works for you, then (this is courtesy of Misfit138 also 8-)) add the following to your /etc/sysctl.conf:
#Temporary workaround for tcp issue with 2.6.27
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
I hope this solution works for all of the other bug bitten members of the Arch (& Linux) community!
