For several NIC drivers, the issue is that the driver is put into a poor state, typically Wake-on-Lan mode. We fixed the problem here by just commenting that section out of the driver, effectively leaving the NIC in the same state that it would be in if the machine were turned on. The problem addressed by the original poster is likely a different problem, since after a kernel crash, I don't believe the shutdown procedures for the driver will ever be called.
