Yes, I do (at least on 1.2.13 and maybe also with 2.0.x)!
That is, 2 of my Pentium systems with DE450 cards die without _any_ message very frequently (the average up time is about 2-4 days). Although this _always_ seems to happen during network activity (I see that in the news log files and it also occurs when I'm running my ftp mirror program), I can't "prove" that the problems are caused by the network cards, nor do I have any further information.
I can fully reproduce this problem (that is, I'm quite sure the system dies within one week or so) using Linux 1.2.13 and I _think_ it also occurred once with one of the 2.0.x kernels.
A week ago, I reinstalled a complete system using a 2.0.11 kernel and it still works (now 7 days), which is quite unique. I continue testing, because one of these systems has to become our main server.
