Yes, I know this is still happening. I also have pretty good data now
that its a bogus problem, meaning due to scheduling issues the
watchdog does not get reset even though the system is just fine
as far as transmit descriptors is concerned. I have a patch that
detects this and keeps the watchdog from erroneously resetting
you, it has been running on my test system for days now without
problems.

Hello!

Our central backup server is still experiencing the same
random problems. The timouts occur every other night or so,
when the server has got high CPU load (compressing the
backups) and transfers large amounts of data at the same
time.

Jack, the hardware should be easy for you or someone else
at Intel to get your hands on:

Unfortunately I cannot give you root access to _that_ one.
