Yes. The server completely hangs about 2 times a week. The only problem
obvious is the NIC. No other messages.

Okay, I've loaded the e100 module for the NICs yesterday at 21:45. Today at
4:05 I get errors from the driver (but intel's module doesn't even report
which NIC...).

As this message looks similar, it seems to me as if I really have a hardware
problem. I'll swap that NIC these days and we'll see on.

Thanks so long!
