We have diskless machines and this is not a good thing, because when this
happens all traffic is stopped, all diskless machines are waiting and users
can't do nothing for several seconds (2-3 seconds). It's not critical, but
it's not comfortable. I tried another card, tried kernels 2.2.16, 2.2.19,
2.4.x series, change cable and still this problem. Any idea what may I do?
