I can reproduce my crash using mtu sized pkts running only 50Mbps

as hard as I can with MTU packets will crash it as well, and much
quicker.

So is there a correlation with packet count then?

Interestingly enough, the tg3 NIC (netgear 302t), registered 57 deg C between
the fins of it's heat sink in the 32-bit slots.  Makes me wonder if my PCI bus
is running too hot :P

Does the problem happen with the tg3?
