The PCI slots are free, I'm only using the onboard NIC's. It's not pushing that much traffic, it's just a webserver (and not at all heavily loaded). If the general consensus is that adding a PCI NIC and disabling the onboard will fix it, I'll go that route. But I'd rather try to understand what the actual problem is and hopefully get a fix for it. Does anyone have suggestions for further debugging?
