How did you remove the APM from your kernel to help with the power management of
the 2nd NIC ?
Thanks,

I experienced this a whiel back. The IF would just stop responding. I
noticed when I pinged from it when logged in locally that would
sometimes start it back up. But it was only down for maybe 5-10 mins at
a time. I chalked the problem up to I think my power management
settings. The system is a server so I removed the APM aspect of it from
the kernel and I think that solved the problem.
