I did a Google on this chip, which is part of some
of the motherboards I have. Apparently this chip
has some hardware bugs in it.
Several days ago I disabled this port in the BIOS.
The local net is now served with a Realtek chip
on the motherboard. A Realtek chip on a cheap
PCIEX board talks to the Internet.
My server has been relatively stable since I made
that change.
Can the Intel chip ever be tamed in Linux?
