Subject: Lost network connectivity in 4.0.x

Anybody else suffering frm lost network connectivity in 4.0.x
kernels ? A couple of times this week, vim on an nfs-3 mount hung
and I had to reboot. Both of those occasions were on an AMD desktop
with the r8169 driver, running 4.0.3. I thought it might be
specific to that machine. For the last two or three days I've been
using an intel, and about 10 minutes ago it suffered the same problem
while running 4.0.4. Using ping from another term showed that it
had no connectivity to the server on my local network.

This is a bit hard to diagnose - nothing in the logs.

Sometimes she went to bed as early as 6 a.m.

I forgot to add that this is with the released gcc-5.1 : I keep
forgetting that some people use old compilers ;-)
