Matt, Michael, The tg3 driver has regressed for the 5714S since Linux 2.6.32. Marc Haber found this in the backported version included in our stable update, but also confirmed it in Linux 3.0. Bringing the interface down and then up again (which the installer does for some reason) can leave it unable to pass traffic (possibly after working for a few packets) until the module is reloaded. I asked Marc to check whether reverting the power management changes (071697e2bcd8dff2af4d6fdd6525c2324f89553b, d237d9ecf06a00f0ebca657958cf2a1e92940796) made a difference, but it doesn't seem to. There is more information in the bug log at .
