It's also necessary, about once a day, to power off the machine to reset something on hte network card, as even force-reload won't recover.

i had a similar problem a couple years ago using eepro100 cards in old
machines(p100-p133) my solution was to rip out hte cards and install $12
NE2k 10baseT cards(ISA) instead..worked great.
have a feeling in that case the pci bus/protocol/something wasn't very
compadible.(older standards..?)
