Fedora Linux - Interface Ethernet caindo espontaneamente com erro "Cartão não presente no slot"

Fedora Linux - Interface Ethernet caindo espontaneamente com erro "Cartão não presente no slot"

Estou executando o Fedora 17 Linux em um computador Advantech ARK-3440 (Ficha de dados).

De tempos em tempos (digamos 5 vezes desde 1º de janeiro), ele perde espontaneamente sua interface de rede. Nos logs /var/log/messages* do Linux, vejo que a interface parece desaparecer brevemente e depois voltar. Mas, ao voltar, não poderá ser adicionado novamente pelo Linux.

Aqui está um trecho:

Alguém tem experiência com esse problema ou alguma sugestão sobre o que pode ser ou como solucionar? Isso poderia ser um verdadeiro problema de hardware? Ou mais provavelmente um problema no Linux?

Pesquisei e encontrei postagens semelhantes sobre o tópico "Cartão não presente", mas não há respostas adequadas. Alguns sugerem reconstruir o Linux sem suporte hotplug...

Qualquer ajuda é muito apreciada. Obrigado.
