By now, I'm unable to discover the exact moment in which the disconnects happens but seems to be somewhat related to network activity degree. The phenomenon brings lots of: via-rhine 0000:00:12.0: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0003, PHY status 786d, resetting... via-rhine 0000:00:12.0: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1 In earlier releases it seemed that heavy network activity (such as torrent) seemed to ease the problem. Also setting irqpoll and/or noapic options seemed to help a bit but didn't completely fix the problem. Now in recent releases the problem seems to increases its happening probability with heavy network activity (the opposite behavior). Of course, this observation is completely subjective. I'm attaching a kernel oops log. In the meantime I'll test again the noapic option. Thanks for any advice.
