Just out of curiosity, do you get transmit errors in your syslogs for
eth0? I had the same problem with an RTL8139 FastEthernet adapter, and
figured it was a bug in the driver. Using a different network card
(Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 or 3COM 905B), I haven't had any problems.
I'm using diald 0.16. I guess my point is, maybe it's a bug in the
network card driver that is tickled by changes in diald. I don't have
any solutions, it's just a thought.
Good luck,
Lyle Taylor
