We saw this with some Linux machines in college that were connected to busy 100Mb/s ethernet. Bill Paul is right when he says ifconfiging down and then up fixes the hang. To work around the problem we changed max_interrupt_work from 20 to 200 and I don't think they've seen any hangs since. (You can find this in the .c file for the driver). These machines were also seeing hard lockups - keyboard stopped responding. This seemed to stop too when we upped this variable. David.
