Actually, that's not the fix. I thought this 'fixed' it too, but you'll
have a broken network in a few hours.
Yup!
The fix is to disable PCI-E ASPM. In the BIOS there is an option for
Active State Power Management, and you need to set it to disabled.
That didn't work for me.
There is a hardware flaw in the 82574L that prevents ASPM from
working.

Thanks for the link!
I was able to add "pcie_aspm=off" as a kernel parameter. Now, things
seem to work again. We'll see how long this lasts before something
else breaks. :)
As a side note, the NIC doesn't properly activate on boot. I get a
message saying that there is no link present, check cable. A simple
"ifup eth0" gets packets moving again. This NIC seems to leave much
to be desired. :)
