I've been experiencing occassional network time-outs with the Intel Gigabit nic's (e1000) in Poweredge systems.
I'm not sure if it's a hard or software problem but it occurs on different systems with Centos 4.2 and 4.3 and was wondering if there' s a workaround available like compiling an updated e1000 module or something.
There are a *lot* of tunables in the e1000 module. Look in /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.9/Documentation/networking/e1000.txt for a list and descriptions. I'd start there.
