Similar experience here - the network connectivity would go away, but the machine was still alive.
Using the e100 driver instead seemed to solve the problem on the dell servers here.
But I didn't have to reboot - just stopped networking, unloaded the eepro100 drivers, loaded the e100 drivers and started networking.
