i recently reinstalled on my dell 8100 with the 3com mini pci nic. everything works fine execpt that when i d/l stuff. the nic cuts out. at first i had the "allow pc to turn off nic to save power" checked, andi when i unchecked it. i started working again. however, after a few mins. it cut out again.
i ran the 3com diag and got nothin, reinstalled drivers, nothin. the only way to get it to work again is to restart or to disable/enable my nic. it onlys happens when i d/l stuff continiously like a big linux image or something. it works fine when i leave it connected to aim and not doin anything else, but when i start d/l'in a lot continiously it cuts out in a few mins....
what's going on?
