The Intel driver, when confronted with a large file being transferred over a local subnet on a fast (P5) system, will spool a zillion messages to your syslog (as the errors mount) and then fall over. I have verified this with both Slackware and Debian. Solution: Get a new Ethernet card, or a slower machine. Something like the BOCA BocaLan PCI with the AMD Lance is nice.
