Hi, When my Ultra 5 is receiving files (ftp/ssh etc..) at large speeds (800kB/s), the network interface can randomly lock up. I can either wait a minute to let it reset itself, or ifdown/ifup eth0 manually. If I let it wait, this is in the syslog:

Can I have misconfigured some network setting? Anyone who can give a hint? Thanks :) Regards, Pieter-Paul
