Custom Compiled 2.6.18 Kernel and tg3 network driver

[Prepaid]

Hello all

I just upgraded to a custom compiled 2.6.18 kernel on my debian etch box, and my network card uses the tg3 driver loaded as a module.

However when I am booted up into 2.6.18 and try to connect to some HTTP sites or even ssh, some times they hang, and same with apt-get upgrades. If I down grade to my past kernel I don't have problems with my connections just randomly hanging.

Does anyone have any idea what happened to the tg3 driver in 2.6.18 that caused this issue and what I could do to fix this issue.

Many thanks,
