   I'm surprised that you are having any problems like that with the Intel
cards. There aren't any known bugs in the driver, so I'd look in the direction
of the hardware, perhaps even the cables. How are the machines connected? Are
they connected through a hub, a switch, or perhaps a cross-over cable?
Which version of FreeBSD is involved? It's also possible that this is an NFS
bug of some kind that only shows up when the timing is right.
