[ale] Weird K12LTSP NIC behavior

[Jim Kinney]

as root:
crontab -e
then add a line:
0 6 * * * /usr/local/sbin/restart-networking

and close with the standard vi <esc>:wq

in /usr/local/sbin/restrt-networking
#!/bin/bash
service network stop
rmmod <module for NIC1>
rmmod <module for NIC2>
#repeat for all network cards
service network start
service dhcpd restart

save the file and
chmod 755

I suspect the NIC is failing or the cable is crap.
