It only started working because you ordered a new card.  Had you not wasted the money, Murphy would have kept torturing your tubes :-P.

Follow up:  Yesterday I configured the software to use eth0 for the LAN and eth1
for the Internet.  Then, I swapped the ethernet cables.  Other than one kernel
panic shortly after 8 AM today there have been NO INTERRUPTIONS in network access.

I have NO idea why that would work.  I would expect the errors to move or change
but not to simply vanish.  It makes no sense.  No matter, I have a new NIC lined
up in the event it starts acting up again!

Thanks to all who replied.
