It's possible that a bug in the underlying NIC driver is causing it to 
lose an interrupt, which effectively kills the receive datapath.

You could try adding the NIC to the undinet_irq_is_broken() checks. 
Unfortunately, these are currently based on the PCI vendor:device ID 
(which we're for some reason unable to retrieve from this NIC).  You 
could try temporarily hardcoding undinet_irq_is_broken() to just always 
return 1.
