This is on a 10mb ethernet. I get a kernel message when the problem occors: de0: abnormal interrupt: transmit underflow (raising TX threshold to 96|256) The interface then freezes until I down it and up it again. I've replaced the new de driver in /sys/pci with the older one, remade the kernel, and things work fine. I did this in the 3.0-970807-SNAP. Since I was getting the same result in all the snaps up to 3.0-970912, I'd expect the same fix to work in all the later snaps, though I haven't tried it yet. My card gets reported as de0: SMC 9332BDT 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 -Fred Gilham
