Is the freeze long enough to exeriment?

This could be a mac filter prorgraming problem in the driver, maybe starting
a tcpdump during the freeze (on the "frozen" machine) works around it too?
Restarting dhclient would close/open a BPF device, tcpdump could have the
same effect.

Maybe even keeping the device in promiscous mode (e.g. by running a tcpdump
w/o -p to /dev/null) could work around it too.
