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.
