They'll kill your ethernet link!
you can read the full article here.
For those too busy to read here's the skinny: a problem with specific Intel Gigabit network controller's onboard EEPROM creates a condition that can only be described as extremely strange. basically if you receive a packet with a specific set of numbers at a specific offset in any packet and poof. your ethernet connection goes away.
Neat stuff, but ultimately, not favorable.
if you have an Intel NIC, start looking for a firmware update.
