Why does my Intel Ethernet Pro 100 NIC stop responding and give me the "eth0: Too much work to do at interrupt, status=0x4050" error?

This may happen on occassion on machines that are under heavy loads. You can increase the max_interrupt_work value to resolve the problem.

You would add this line to the /etc/conf.modules file:
options eepro100 max_interrupt_work=40
The variable 40 is just an example, max_interrupt_work uses 20 by defaults. The variable should be determined on a case by case basis.

Note: If you use a number which is to high it potentially could slow down your network traffic.
