I continue to have this problem with this setup:

- host 2.6.27.4, kvm-78, intel, debian etch 64bits
- guest 2.6.27.6, debian sarge 32 bits, e1000, 2 vcpus

up/down of interface is enough to recover.

there is 6 other guests on this host (mix of Debian
woody/sarge/etch/lenny, 2.6, 2.4) this is the only one with this
problem, but this is also I think the one with most IP traffic
(http/ftp + rsync backups).
