ping delay ?

[wu_yb]

I used 3c59x 0.99L in a HP PII 450 machine, kernel 2.2.12 or kernel 2.2.13.
About every 2 hours, network speed slowed down, ping to a same-hub machine
took 300ms to 6000ms, mii-diag showed everything OK,  after
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.209,  network speed went up again, ping took only
0.4 ms.

Does it mean a bug in system config, or in protocol stack or in hardware ?
I used same driver in kernel 2.0.35, everything ws OK.
