If I understand your original report correctly, the tg3 driver in Debian
kernel version 2.6.32-45 fails periodically and the driver in version
3.2.20-1~bpo60+1 does not. So we need to look for a fix to the driver
that was made between those versions.
Let me know if my understanding is correct.
Ben.
Sorry for not updating. The current versions in squeeze seems to be fine now running for days without incident.
elbournb@red:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-46) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Sun Sep

elbournb@red:~$ sudo ethtool -i eth0
driver: tg3
version: 3.116
firmware-version: 5722-v3.07, ASFIPMI v6.02
bus-info: 0000:11:00.0
I can easily move this system to the backport kernel for a few days. Would that be a valid test to close the issue for
Wheezy too?
Huge thanks,
Berni
