I ran into the same problem on a Dell Dimension 4100 whose onboard Ethernet
is reported via dmesg as
fxp0: <Intel PLC 10/100 Ethernet> port 0xdf00-0xdf3f mem 0xfeaff000-0xfeafffff irq 3 at device 8.0 on pci2
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:03:47:0e:70:be
And by support.dell.com with my service tag as:
Integrated Intel 10/100 Ethernet Controller Driver (Intel 82562ET chip set)
This error would occur at a random interval after the network interface was
brought up and used, usually within ten minutes. The failure seemed to
correspond loosely to the number of packets that were pumped through the
interface. The failure was a total lack of IP traffic until rebooted, not
just some network traffic.
I slapped a rather old PCI fxp card in the box that I had lying around my
house to get around the problem, which works fine.
Since I am running this hardware as a contract Java programmer, I can't
really justify spending the time to go through the drivers to figure out
what is wrong.
This error occurs both on 4_2_RELEASE (which I installed) and 4_STABLE
(which I am tracking currently).
I would gladly serve as a test point if someone develops code that they
think addresses this problem.
