Random thoughts, random order:
- Try to ensure it is receiving interrupts. Look at /proc/interrupts.
- Look at the ifconfig stats and see if it has received/transmitted
anything? Any errors? Any dropped packets?
- Run tcpdump of other computers on the network and see if that shows
anything strange. eg no packets at all, or only packets in one
direction, bad/duplicate IP address, duplicate Ethernet address (just
because it should not happen, don't assume it wont happen), or
something else which is wrong.
