Since upgrading to 3.9 I've been having a problem with flakiness from
my older PCI quad ethernet card.  de3 here is a dhcp interface (crappy
SBC DSL), de2 and de1 are internal (wired and wireless).

the symptoms of failure are that de3 will stop sending packets.
tcpdump doesn't show outgoing transmissions, dhclient complains
"out of buffer space", and even without any active transmissions
ifconfig shows OACTIVE in the interface flags.

(the machine is up at the moment so I don't have that ifconfig handy, 
sorry).

One other thing I notice is that when I do ask it to do autonegotiate
it floods the network with requests, but a hardcode to 100baseTX doesn't
work (I don't exactly have a managed switch on the other end) and 
10baseT complains that there is no carrier in ifconfig status and 
dhclient won't run.

Any ideas?  Simply bad hardware?  This was working fine with 3.8 and
even a 3.9 snapshot from two months ago before the CDs arrived monday
and I did the upgrade.
