I was experiencing weird issues with my NIC aswell, check if you have
the r8169 kernel module loaded, if so, that might be the cause of your
crashes.
Get the proper drivers for your NIC on the realtek website, compile
them against your kernel, run depmod, blacklist the old module, update
initramfs and you shouldn't have any more trouble.
