Strange.
In the past I also had a machine were I got the strange strings in the
kernel logs (looks a little bit like rot-13). But I can't remember how
I fixed it.

Maybe some strange chars in dmesg causes the network break, but I'm
sure that's a kernel problem with your hardware.
Can you try you configuration with another piece of hardware.
Did you run memtest86+ on this machine?
