I installed some Asante LC ethernet cards with the 4.0 driver that shipped
with them.  I had several occasions where they just locked the machine up
and flooded the ethernet with traffic.  I verified this by looking at the
activity light on another machine.  I ftp'd the 4.1 drivers and installed
them and have had a lot less problems since and haven't flooded the network
with traffic once :-).  They seem to be working fine now.  I've only had a
couple of lockups since and I'm not sure that the cards are at fault for
those.
