Hardware: Laptop Dell Precision 3510 Core i7 and another one Corei5 Desktop Computer

Common at both: Network Card Intel Pro 1000 e1000e

System: Lubuntu 17.10 x64

After update from kernel 4.13.0-17 to 4.13.0-18 network interface goes repeatedly up and down. System booted with old 4.13.0-17 works as expected.

It seems to be this issue:

Syslog says over and over again:
