Unfortunately I reinstalled intrepid, so can't supply the specific
diagnostics.

However, when I went back to intrepid, I had the same problem.

When my network stopped during file transfer I took a look at dmesg, and
it had a message regarding clocksource tsc being unstable.

Not clear why this should affect the NIC, but after a quick search on
the web, it seems that the fix is to either stick a new battery in the
motherboard, or put clocksource=hpet into the boot parameters.

not having a battery handy, I tried the clocksource=hpet option, and
everything has been fine for the last day or two.

I'm going to keep an eye on it, and if it is still fine, will reinstall
jaunty at the weekend, and test.

Perhaps I've always had an unstable clocksource, and there is something
in the recent kernel that is more sensitive to it?

Jeff.
