I have had a problem with a NIC on the PCI-bus on a Soyo motherboard. It
was intermittent and VERY frustrating. Under load, the NIC would lock up
and the box would hang it keyboard and mouse. If I had a remote shell
open  into the box from the second NIC I could restart the box.
Restarting networking and unloading drivers did not work. I used 3
different NIC, 2-3Com and a RealTek. Only the motherboard NIC would keep
working.
