I think the network driver itself is not related to the problem,
it's just that it wants RAM and can't get any.

It's always about transfering data at a high rate. I think it
happens when you're writing that data, and so the page cache also
fills up.
The machine I had this on, and now homer, only have 2 GB of RAM.
The disk might have a problem keeping up with what the other
end can send.
