I get some strange e1000 failures too. It usually involves the
watchdog kicking them back into order, but sometimes they'll stay
offline for a while. Heat would explain it, though, because it only
happens when I'm actually using the cards for a benchmark. I figured
that it was either my cables, or a shoddy switch.
The new dual-port e1000 that I have doesn't seem to have this problem,
even though I'm running 4 times more traffic than the singles that I
had.
