Hello,  I have a server running RedHat 7.0 and apache that I am using as =
a web server, with a 3com 905 nic. 2 weeks ago it seems to have started =
broadcsting so many packets that the network upon which it is located =
became frozen. I rebooted and it worked fine untl now when t did the =
same thing. Any idea how I can find out what is happening nd keep it =
from happening again?=20

My theory is that the nic is bad, although I'm not really sure
