Chee,

The solution was easy and seemed generic to any NIC that was not
passing interrupts.  From the bugzilla:

==>
It seems that the controller doesn't generate any interrupts, maybe a problem
with MSI. Please unload forcedeth and load it with
modprobe forcedeth msi=0
==>

You are likely running a different driver, but you should try to
unload it and then reload it with msi=0.

If that works, then follow the rest of the thread for how I did the
permanent fix.
