I don't know if this information is useful or if it is already known, but I'd like to report that the networking freezes in the 1.3.9x - pre2.0.4 kernels may be sensitive on one's hardware configuration.
More specifically, I have two pentium machines both running exactly the same pre2.0.4 kernel, and one will lock up about once or twice a day, always when I'm doing a large data transfer over the network, and the other one never locks up. The one that never locks up is our news and FTP server, so it experiences plenty of network activity.
Here are the hardware configurations of the two machines. I hope the information is useful.
The machine that locks up (my workstation):
Pentium-133 ASUS motherboard with 256k synchronous cache 64MB 60ns DRAM 1 IDE CDROM drive 1 scsi disk NE2000 clone ethernet card Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller
The machine that locks up (my workstation):
Pentium-133 [same] ASUS motherboard with 256k synchronous cache [same] 64MB 60ns DRAM [same] 1 IDE CDROM drive 4 scsi disks, 1 scsi tape SMC Ultra ethernet card NCR 53c810 SCSI controller
