Please note,this bug is unrelated to Bug #1331513 b/c even if TSO, GSO etc... are disabled, I can still re-producible it. The lock-up would only occur under VERY_HIGH_NETWORK_LOAD, so a typical user (web-surfing only) would not be able catch it easily. On a side note, the machine I am testing is an HP EliteDesk 705 (DMI info below), and it is the official certified hardware to run Ubuntu.
