Is the new NIC sharing an irq with some other device?

Also, when you say that it hangs, is it hanging or crashing?  If it's
actually hanging, then it may be useful to add DDB to your kernel and hit
ctrl-alt-esc to see if you can successfully break into the kernel
debugger during one of these hangs.
