 I am currently away from the target computer. How should I check for this? lspci?

lspci can not tell much. Use 'dmesg | grep XID' instead.

[alex@karlalex linux-git]$ dmesg | grep -i xid
[   10.647557] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xffffc90000352000, 00:22:68:44:17:2f, XID 98500000 IRQ 43

A complete dmesg would be welcome.

It could help to know a few things :
- does the problem qualify as a regression since some kernel version ?
   If so which one ?

I have only seen these messages since 3.4-rc1. Vanilla kernels up to 3.3, and stock Fedora 16 kernels (kernel-3.3.2-6.fc16.x86_64) did not display this problem. However, I cannot confirm that the latest stock kernel is free from the message, since I prefer to run the latest RC kernel on my home machine.

- can it be reproduced with a kernel that has not been vbox tainted ?

I will check this. However, since the message only appears after an hour of so of moderate bittorrent traffic, it might take a while to confirm.

- does networking recover ?

It does recover, after a few seconds.

Thanks.
