What OS are you using?  There was a bug in RHEL/CentOS (and I think other
OSes, but can't promise that I'm right about that) that was just patched.
The bug resulted in occasional loss on connectivity on network connections
using the bnx2 driver.  See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=587799 for more information.
