I am experiencing the exact same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 and fit-pc2. If I saturate the network bandwidth -- e.g. by copying files using rsync -- then after a while (10-20 seconds) the network connection to the machine is lost.
I just reproduced it and after 5 minutes the network interface has not come back online so I rebooted the fit-pc2. I am only using the 1000 BaseT Ethernet interface on the fit-pc2 box (it also has a WiFi interface). dmesg reports this driver installed: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded @penalvch > As well, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available > following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ?

I would like to try to test using the latest upstream kernel, but I am unsure which to pick from these: - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ Could you please point me in the right direction (URL)?
