short version: All is OK, sorry for the noise.

long version:
after sending off the message, I found a nic that I could plug into the box,
did that, and before switching to use the em card, I tried another run with
the igb, and surprice! all is ok, I will now have to go through logs to see 
what
happend, but my guess is that the switch this host was connected was under 
heavy
load, it has a cluster of HPCs.

thanks, have a nice weekend and season greatings!
