Thank you for your suggestions.
I have tried kernel 3.9.0-030900rc5-generic, and the computer has now
been running for 5 days! (Previously the problem would have surfaced
after a day or two). I had some issues initially after booting: it would
boot but when trying to login the session would hang whilst running
.profile, so I think it's not completely working.
I've just had another instance of:
niu 0000:09:00.0: eth2: Transmit timed out, resetting
This time though eth2 recovered and the network is still functioning, so
that's an improvement but not a complete solution.
I don't know whether that means the problem is fixed or not, so I don't
know whether to tag "kernel-bug-exists-upstream" or "kernel-fixed-
upstream" (or even "kernel-unable-to-test-upstream" given the initial
problems).
Here's the syslog:
