Which one is locking up: built-in ep93xx ethernet or the second port using the 
FPGA?

If it is the ep93xx port, this post:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/10980
refers to some patches for the ep93xx ethernet port that were supposed to be 
headed upstream.  A quick look at 2.6.28 doesn't show them there yet, and 
Mathieu still carries one or both of them in his patchset (atm, latest is 
2.6.29.1):
http://mcrapet.free.fr/

Good to hear, btw, that vanilla 2.6.31 carries a driver for the FPGA ethernet 
port.  If it's stable, the 7300 just became a little more attractive for a 
firewall.
