Comment 32 for bug 60764

On of the host I manage has been affected by the problem discussed in this thread for months now. It occurs both when transferring files with scp and during ssh sessions, however at a time from the start of transfer or of session that appears to be random. It's avery annying problem: some days it virtually impossible to keep connected for more than a fes minutes.

OS:

Linux myhost 2.6.18-4-k7 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:57:15 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

As to NIC hardware

> dmesg | grep 3C
0000:00:0b.0: 3Com PCI 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at f081c000.

> lsmod |grep 3c5
3c59x 40808 0
mii 5696 1 3c59x

If anyone could suggest a test I'd be happy to carry it out. (I have not tried netcat yet; asap I will).
