I've got the same Asus motherboard, same problem.  It's at home and
network traffic heading through my cablemodem doesn't seem to cause
it to lock up but if I try to do anything between it and a local
machine (higher speed) it locks up.  'ifconfig sk0 down' 'ifconfig sk0 up'
brings it back to life if it does lock up.
