This is a serious problem that I encountered once with a 3C509 NIC (ep0) on
3.3-RELEASE. The network would just stop working after 3-4hours. I solved
the problem only after installing  3.2-Stable and making world. I don't know
if the make world was necessary but I did it for good measure. Since, the
system is rock solid and is being used for internal DNS, Sendmail and the
NIS Master.

Try ifconfig down and then up on your ether interface...
