When things like this occur, you have to ask yourself "what changed?"
Something as insignificant as putting a cover on that has been off of the
PC case for 6 months, is a change. Sounds like the network card was the
only change besides recompiling the kernel. Remove the PCI NIC, and see
if it hangs. If not, then it's the NIC, either a resource problem or a
bad NIC.
