In googling around etc ... Many people are having this type of problem, on
HP also.  So it's not just Dell.

Most people are able to fix or workaround it by disabling c-states in bios,
or fidgeting with their NIC (swap out broadcom in favor of intel, or
downgrade bcom firmware.)  But I already disabled c-states (didn't help) and
my system ships with a minimum bcom FW version 5, which means I can't
downgrade to v4 which sometimes solved the problem for people.

So again - I have support tickets open with dell & oracle...  Don't know the
result yet.
