I'm betting it is the tulip NIC. While they are well supported, there
were a number of different variants, and they weren't all exactly
reliable. Do you have another NIC you could use as a test?
Also, you might want to try running the following commands, both when it
is working and when it has failed, and check the output:
ethtool eth0
ethtool -S eth0
Finally, are you doing PPPoE (or anything similar) on the firewall? If
so, are there any separate logs that might have more info?
