    I've got the same Asus motherboard, same problem. It's at home and
    network traffic heading through my cablemodem doesn't seem to cause
    it to lock up but if I try to do anything between it and a local
    machine (higher speed) it locks up. 'ifconfig sk0 down' 'ifconfig sk0 up'
    brings it back to life if it does lock up.
