It appears that if the ethernet card does not detect activity, the interface will stop responding to any type of traffic to/from it. The card is an Intel 10/100 Pro, using the fxp driver. Bringing down the interface, and again back up, will re-activate it for about 30 minutes until it dies again. I originally chalked it up to an SMP issue with the driver, but it has the same problems with a UP kernel. I'm currently running a background ping to the system to keep it alive. Has anyone seen such activity? BTW, my kernel conf is the GENERIC: + SC_DISABLE_REBOOT Thanks for any information you can provide.
