You should be running the modified RU1.25 Bios, :and have enabled MPS 1.4. Also disable "Spread Spectrum" and do *not* :overclock. I have the RU BIOS, I enabled MPS 1.4. What is "Spread Spectrum?". I don't overclock. I never do. I remember seeing messages about network lockups on the ABIT BP6, and there was a patch submitted to the list. It had to do with a Sysreq patch that would "do something to the APIC" and re-enable network interrupts. However, I don't remember who this was, and where the patch is. Is the older Becker driver for the RTL8139 more robust? I know it's no longer maintained, but if I want to try it, how do I proceed? I don't remember seeing it offered in the configuration menu.
