hmm, sounds familiar. 
(" p54usb: fix random traffic stalls (LM87)" (43af18f06d5
and p54usb: fix packet loss with first generation devices  ")

can you please run
for ((size=0; size < 9000;size++)); do ping $IP -s $size

and see if there's a connection between the stalls/hangs and the frame length?
