Your symptoms are different than I had, but there have been a number of issues reported involving kudzu and ethernet cards. You might take a look at Bugzilla 107389. You could try disabling kudzu (chkconfig --level 35 kudzu off) and see if that helps. The initial report, and my case involved 3Com cards, but there have been other mentions of kudzu related wierdness also. Bill
