I would try a different kenerl but our cluster fs has us locked to this kernel until we finish the upgrade to the new cluster fs version. heres ethtool on the iface

I'm currently using the following string:

kexec -e

Some times we can get to the box from any subnet, other times we can
only get to the box from the same subnet only. Our solution to this
is to down the iface and then restart networking. Has anyone else
run into this issue?
Hi Richard,

could you be more specific about which NIC you are using?
And is it at all possible to test a newer kernel version?

What I suspect is happening is that the NIC is getting into an unknown
state. And what I'm hoping is that is a problem thats already been
addressed.
