I think you're right. I've been using a pcmcia ethernet card=20
for the last =EF=BB=BF1 day, 18:28. with no hangs.

I think that's enough time to say for sure that the problem is with the
e1000 driver.

I've filed this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/196127
in case anybody else has something to add.
