Kernel 2911 still loses network under load

[Dr. Diesel]

I've had the same problem with Intel e1000.  My situation is a bit
different, and perhaps normal, but network would drop on heavy
transfers if I set the NFS wsize/rsize above the ethernet MTU setting.

But as-far-as I know it has/will do this with any kernel version..

I'm using kernel.i686 0:2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.
