I'm having some interesting problems with a Pentium 4 server and 4 port
ethernet cards. The server has 2 Intel Pro 1000 ethernets on board, and an
Intel Pro 1000 4 port card installed. The problem is that it runs fine for
from a day to a week or so, and then the ports on the 4 port card just stop
working. Only thing I've found in the logs anywhere is a series of messages:
Dec 6 21:33:04 fw2 /bsd: em2: watchdog timeout -- resetting
when the ethernets die.
I tried swapping the Pro 1000 4 port with an Adaptec Quartet64 ANA-62044 and
had the same problem, but the Quartet died in hours instead of days.
Any ideas, suggestions, known hardware problems, etc. would be appreciated.

Shall we line up the flies in a row? How shall we defend ourselves?
All of that is irrelevant."
