I believe I read a Computer World article that mentioned that
Apple's Ethernet board is manufactured by 3 com and was temporarily  
was withdrawn from the market because of bugs. I don't know if the
board in question is related to this problem, but it might be
worth investigation. I read the article sometime this summer.
A corrected board should have been introduced by now.
