It's interesting that you say that...

>From what I recall, TX underrun errors occur when a burst of packets get 
sent to the NIC driver.  So, since you haven't seen one, that tells me 
that whatever app (maybe a change in the TCP stack?) which was sending the 
burst of packets is gone, and you're therefore not stressing the network 
card/driver anymore.  Which is why you're not running into whatever 
problem had been occuring.

Oh well.
