I've backed my card all the way down to 10Mbps/half-duplex and it still hoses about once a month - under heavy load. There are 100+ devices using it for TACACS+ and syslog traps.

It seems that the interface hangs when high volumes of traffic pass through it. Bringing the interface and up seems to cure the problem. Doesn't happen on other operating systems. Has anyone else noticed this? We're running a Compaq Proliant 800 and the card is a Intel Ether Express 10/100. The device is picked up as the tl driver. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
