Actually, while the problem occurs less frequently, it does still happen
from time to time. I'm not sure what triggers it, but eventually,
windows no longer map in X and sudo hangs indefinitely (for example, I
can't do "sudo reboot", because I sudo never asks me for a password).
The concommittent syslog symptom is the following repeated over and over.

I noticed that some time before the driver had problems, I saw this:
Oct 30 01:09:52 localhost kernel: [86490.747214] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1:
transmit timed out
Oct 30 01:09:52 localhost kernel: [86490.747226] bcm43xx: Controller RESET (TX

Oct 30 01:09:52 localhost kernel: [86491.265854] bcm43xx: Controller restarted
