3c905B-TX Goes To Sleep

[Andrew May]

I am not sure if I have the same problem, but on my machine
I have just about everything mounted over NFS. So usually there
is traffic flowing, but a couple of times I have come back
to the machine to see it with a load of 9 because the NFS mounts
are gone.

I though it was a NFS problem but if it was the card that would
almost be better news.

I will see if I can get the network to hang without the NFS mounts.
