I can confirm this bug still exists in Dapper kernel 2.6.15-28.

We have three almost identical computers at the office, each having an Asus P4P800-SE motherboard and running Dapper. All three computers are connected to a gigabit switch. All three have had stability issues with networking especially after the switch was upgraded from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps. The computers tend to crash whenever something network-intensive is being done, such as downloading an .iso image from another computer on the LAN. On at least one computer, running a distcc build causes a crash within ten seconds _every time_.

The patch above seems to fix all the stability issues.
