One way to avoid the bug is to use the e1000 hardware network type. I guess the rtl8139 driver that we ship in netdde has a bug in its irq handling (we had already seen that kind of bug a long time ago in the IDE driver). Moving to rump-based network drivers will probably help fixing this kind of issue long-term :) Samuel
