Hi Jesse,

More datapoints.

First of all, I don't see the problem, so this is an exclusion data point.

Machine is up 1 day, 19:02

I use 2.6.16 and I'm NBOT running at Gigabit speed.
(just couldn't get e100 cards anymore, they are not sold anymore here)

Version: vendor 00:aa:00, model 56 rev 0

Services: I'm routing, run IPsec, do firewalling/nat with iptables, do PPPoE
	on this machine but all not on that interface. 

The card is exposed to the local LAN interface.

My config is attached, more data on request.
I can play with parameters, but cannot test patches.
