Is DNS working properly on the machine? Running "netstat -r" requires name resolution for all the entries (which is why I tend to run "netstat -rn"). Perhaps most of the problems are to do with name resolution, and running "netstat -r" refills the cache, or something stupid. We've been running a fair number of Intel Pro <whatever> in our firewalls for quite a while. There was one occasion over a year ago where one port of a dual-port card appeared to have gone to sleep and wouldn't wake up (until we rebooted) on FreeBSD 3.2, but apart from that they've been very good. Of course all manufacturing processes are subject to random variation--you may just be "lucky".
