Thanks John: The worst problem to troubleshoot is one that can not be readily reproduced.
My new laptop "a clevo M580ETU" does show the problem in several facets. 1 large transfers makes the interface go away for approx 5 minutes. 2 every day use the system goes through long (10 second) pauses when doing DNS lookups and remote logins. I have switched between the gani driver and the rge driver several times and have witnessed the pauses with the rge driver but not with the gani driver. I have two ECS motherboards that both have shown the problem along with a sager laptop and now the clevo laptop. All of which were not having any problem up through build 86. with builds 91 - 109 being the worse. I am now running builds 117 - 123 on everything and still see the problem but not as bad as it was in the 91-109 range.
