Hi, All

It seems that I'm getting same problems with 3.5.2 kernel - 80003ES2LAN 
onboard NIC is going to reset from time to time under load

Aug 25 10:27:58 bras2 kernel: [134617.654599] e1000e: eth2 NIC Link is 
Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx


root@bras2:~# ethtool -i eth2
driver: e1000e
version: 1.11.3-NAPI
firmware-version: 1.0-0
bus-info: 0000:05:00.0

root@bras2:~# lspci | grep 05:00.0
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit 
Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)

Mainboard: Intel S5000PAL

I used to fall back to 1.11.3-NAPI driver version because with kernel 
2.0.0 (and also with 2.0.0.1 from sf.net) there were a lot of random 
packet drops and latency spikes, so 1.11.3 is more acceptable to 
production.
While reset traffic stop going, iowait increase up to 100% and then link 
flaps and all became normal until next reset that could happen in 1 
hour, or in 1 day. Also I noticed, that resets aren't correlate with 
traffic load. It could happen ever when NIC is almost idle, transferring 
~30-40 mbps.

Is there anything we can do to fix this issue?

Regards, Nikolay
