I'm curious. You say the device is causing reboots. Is this due to a kernel panic followed by a reboot or does the system just reboot? If the entire system is rebooting I would suspect a bigger issue such as problems in the system memory, power issues, or an issue in the kernel. In 2907473 you mentioned also having SATA issues. This leads me to wonder if there is a problem with the Mainboard or components in the system you are currently using. In the bug you mentioned that you had recently upgraded to this server. Would it be possible to try installing the ET Quad port server adapter in that system and run the same tests that you are currently running in this system. My main concern is that this issue could be due to something outside of our control since the SATA seemed to be experiencing an I/O stall at the same time as the network adapter. If we can test this in a known good platform we might be able to verify if the issue is a problem in the server or not. In the bugs that you filed you mentioned that you have been putting additional patches on top of the kernel. In the tests you have recently done have any of the kernels you tested not included the patches you mentioned? If not you may want to try running just a plain kernel and see if the same issues occur.
