Some fresh additional info:

Today one of the problem machines got stuck again. I was able to log on
through second functional interface and watch it more closely. Sending
packets from the box worked (its arp requests were appearing on other
boxes in the subnet) but it could not receive any packet. And another
thing... It seems that running tcpdump (ie. entering and leaving
promiscuous mode) on the interface resolved the problem
and made the machine to appear back on the network. It's running
with no problem from that moment.

Any ideas what's going on here? Does it make sense to anyone?

Dan
