Hi Mark, Why blame the NIC driver? Are you sure that the kernel hadn't crashed? Hetzner should be able to get you a KVM on it if it happens again. I have had some issues, since upgrading to 7.8, on a Hetzner server crashing with no traces, etc. This is only under certain workloads, though. -Henrich
