We've seen some funny things with the in-kernel igb driver.

Not crashes, but just strange performance issues and CRC errors
on the wire and such.  Intel's igb driver seems to work fine
for us.

If you have no other things to try..you might try using the
out-of-kernel igb driver from Intel and see if that makes
any difference.

Thanks,
