Hi all. I gather someone else is having a similar problem on this list,
mine seems to be related.

Kernel 2.4.17 on an smp box with high-mem support.
Two nics, first is an rtl8139, second is a 3c905B both are running as 
modules. This (production) machine mounts /usr, /home and some other 
spots via nfs.

The 3com card sporadically hangs completely although the machine 
continues to run. Of course I can't log into the thing because most 
programs can no longer be accessed because /usr is mounted through the 
downed interface.

After a reboot this is what is in the logs:
