The errors and frame counts indicate a network problem. You need to check the setting on the switch and the network interface, and make sure these are correct and compatible. > Here is some interesting snippets from dmesg (no time stamps) that was > created during net outage: The same messages should appear in the syslog with timestamps. Your problem look just like the problems I've seen when the switch and the network interface had problems agreeing on the protocol settings. Make sure both are set to autonegotiate, or lock both of them to the setting you want. You will have to check the documentation for your switch to find out how to do it on the switch, and should be able to use ethtool or mii-tool to fix the linux side.
