I too saw the packet drivers stop sending me packets.  It also seems to fail
on a commercial network monitor software without packet drivers (emonitor).
Faillures occured with the packet driver on wd8003e and 3c503 drivers.
Release 9 of the packet drivers has fixed it.  I was going to invistigate it
myself until I got version 9 drivers.  I think the problem happened when the
boards ring buffers overflowed and were not reset correctly.  Then they no
longer sent pakcets to the packet driver.
