avahi is killing my network connection from time to time

[Michael Schwartzkopff]

Hi,

I am using 8.10 on my laptop. When I plug in the cable of the network only 
after system boot I have reproducably problems with my network connection. I 
dies all 10 minutes.

During an outage I find the following entries in syslog:
