This isn't an Asus SP3 or SP3G is it?

Same contoller here...

Heh, I've got an NE2000, but it uses the ed driver as well.

Ah, ok...  But they both use the same SiS chipset.

I'm seeing something I've classified as 'slightly weird' but due to
the machine and the nature of problem, its a bit difficult to 
check the console for a panic.  In any event, the machine can't
stay up for more than 5 or 6 days.  I'm going to re-enable crash
dumps and make an up to date -stable kernel and see whats up.

Due to the similarities between your hardware and mine, this 
problem MIGHT be hardware related.  I've considered replacing
the SC-200 with an ah2940 to see if that makes a difference.

Have a good one.
