Just an observation.

All the boxes I've had this problem on have _two_ em interfaces. I have 
never seen it on my boxes with just one em NIC.

The error is always em0 timeout - never em1 (I haven't seen any!)

Yesterday my local network got completely wacky, the gateway had em0 
timeouts on the screen: but em0 is the _outside_ the windows box that I 
had to reboot was attached to the inside on em1!

Could there be something wrong in the driver if we have more than one em 
interface?

Regards,
Martin
