All that you suggest checks out, I did notice another
additional oddity. when I do an ifconfig sometimes
it shows eth0 in promisc mode! So I ifconfig eth0 -promisc,
it goes back to the way it was and everything runs smoothly
for a couple more hours. When the network starts dragging
again later, I'll do ifconfig, and the promisc will be back
again!! Is my card dying?
