Hardware:
ASUS M2N-VM DVI
Issue:
Integrated network chipset locks network during file transfers.
Hardware probe detects the chipset correctly and loads the "nfe" driver.
Remedies attempted:
Recompiling the kernel and modules from latest cvs.
Temporary fix:
[CMD="ifconfig"]nfe0 down[/CMD]
[CMD="ifconfig"]nfe0 up[/CMD]
I have this issue with ftp/scp/smb transfers.
Using ssh and http don't seem to trigger the lockup.
After a little googling I found someone with the exact same problem, but I wasn't able to find the solution (or maybe I didn't understand it :stud).

Above mentioned post is mirrored over many mailing lists, and I believe it is the only relevant documentation of this issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
