Network card seizes! suggestions?



Hi 
I have a problem I have never encountered before with 10 Debian boxes.
The problem is every now and again, particularly during large transfers
of files by either ftp or samba, the network card on the computer just stops!

The network card is an ne2000 compatible one (or at least that is the network
driver that works with it!) and when this occurs, I cannot do anything to 
"restart" the network card going again. I have tried removing the ne.o module
but I can't as it says the device is in use. Instead I have to do a tedious 
reboot on this old 486 Dx2 Gateway machine which I have running Debian 2.1.

Has anyone encountered this before ? Any suggestions welcome.

Yours
(trying to make an old 486 useful)
Cormac
