That's precisely what I'm experiencing.  System still responds to ping.
Anything that was already running in memory via network stays alive (cron
jobs continue to run) but remote access is impossible (ssh, vnc, even local
physical console...)  And eventually the system will stop completely.

There's a high correlation between the problem and doing some sort of
low-level storage operation (zpool import/export, MegaCli offline, zpool
status, scrub, zfs send, etc)  So I thought the problem was somehow related
to the perc or something ... Maybe there's a bug where the perc conflicts
with the nic.  I don't care.  Swapping the NIC is cheap enough, I'll try it
now, just to see if it works.

Thanks for the suggestion...
