I had a nasty experience with a network device a few months ago. It wasn't a
NIC this time but a WAP, which when it went faulty managed to wipe out half
of the USB disk to which I was backing up the machine the WAP was connected
to. Much repeated backing-up of several boxes was required to re-establish
the status quo.
Just goes to show that hardware failures can do some weird things.
(Pick the bones out of that, Volker. Preferably without gratuitous
offensiveness.)
