Them manual page em(4) mentions trying another cable when the watchdog
timeout happens, so I tried that. But it didn't help.
Is there anything I can test to (help) debug this?
It happens a lot when my machine is under load. (100% CPU)
Is it possible that it happens since I upgraded the memory from 1GB to 2
GB?

watchdogs mean that the transmit ring is not being cleaned, so the
question is what is your machine doing at 100% cpu, if its that busy
the network watchdogs may just be a side effect and not the real
problem?

I see these too when installing packages over nfs on my Laptop. If I run with a low level of network traffic, i.e. ssh compile, and peg out the cpu with a benchmark such as flops, I don't see these timeouts.
