The symptoms are as follows: within minutes of booting once I start
making standard network connections within a short time all network
activity fails even though ifconfig reports eth0 up; I cannot ping to
anything but my own host. If I drop the interface the system completely
*FREEZES* for about 30 seconds (including disk I/O and serial port polling
- no mouse activity) and then comes back to life. If I ifconfig eth0 up
the interface again I have networking... until it gets confused again in a
few minutes. Here's some interesting output:
