Comment 5 for bug 81713

I have a similar problem on a dapper system - *very* reproducable, whenever copying files from a gigabit host, takes about 5 minutes to hang. Ethernet interface is then unusuable, but machine stays stable.

Problem still exists in 2.6.17-50, the latest kernel I've been able to find .deb files for.

Trying the blacklist solution..

Well, the system still finds the card with that module blacklisted.. time will tell whether it locks or not, I've just started another attempt to copy all my mp3s from a server that is being retired to the machine in question (both have gig E cards, this has been a sure-fire way to get the machine incommunicado so far)
