I used the kernel driver, binary only drivers are a royal pain.

The problem is with the kernel driver - i locks under heavy load (over 2
000-3 000 packet/s, may be less).
Change the card if you can, i didn't recommend you this card for production
server.

Unfortunately it was the onboard one, plus a rather cool dual eepro100
card. And yes the server does experience quite a load when everyone is in
the office. But not the lockups everyone else seems to be experiencing.

Yes, in me this cards lockups between 2-3 days.
