It sounds like maybe the interrupt handler for the card isn't getting
called often enough to clean out it's receive buffer (of course I know
next to nothing about the ethernet driver, so maybe not ;-).  Allen Briggs
or Denny Gentry should know for sure, Allen?

Basically, the SONIC ethernet driver is still under development, so I'd
expect that it's probably not rock-solid stable at the moment.  Perhaps
the next kernel Scott compiles will fix it.  Are you on a really busy
ethernet, btw?

I hope this helps some.

Later.
