I've had similar problems with a OC-3137 (PCI/II 16/4) card in a Digital Venturis P75 machine, but I managed to break the machine completely before looking into it any further. The symptoms were very similar to yours. The machine would be fine as long as I didn't use it much, but doing anything which transferred data at a high rate would cause the card to fall over. Even doing an `ls -al` on a large directory would cause the link to fail, however downloading a 100MB file over our 512K WAN link was fine, therefore it's almost definately speed of delivery and not quantity of data which is the problem. IIRC though, I couldn't `ifconfig down` and then `ifconfig up` the interface to restart it, a powerdown was the only option.
