i have a linux router with 6 gigabit ethernet adapters.

i have found that, when i use a cheap, off-brand switch,
occasionally a power surge, or something, will fry my
ethernet card and crash the router.  Afterward, the
NIC is completely worthless.  Has anyone ever
encountered this problem???

absolutely nothing will show up in any logs.

after a reboot, the linux kernel will continue to
recognize the NIC.  The NIC, though, will not
establish an ethernet link at all.

thank you,
Randy
