Nick, thanks for the quick response.
I had a couple hangs this morning, so the driver update was not a fix. I'm trying # ethtool -K enp0s25 tso off now. Fingers crossed!

We don't recompile the kernel, but just use the upstream one so we have no way of redistributing an updated driver. Have you tried the solution in this thread? The other possible solution is to ask the guys at ElRepo if they would consider providing it again. They are very helpful. They stopped a while back when they noticed that the version in the kernel had a load of backported fixes in it and so the version they were supplying was actually older than the kernel version. Things may have moved on since the,

I'm having the same Hardware Unit Hang issue with an Intel 82566DM Gigabit controller and the e1000e module on the external interface for my ClearOS box. I lose my connection for 8-10 seconds at least once a day. It's embarrassing on videoconferences in the COVID-19 pandemic. I found the issue in /var/log/messages:
So I've tried compiling the 3.8.4 Intel driver. I'm running that, but not sure if it's fixed yet. There are some serious downsides to compiling the latest source: tainted kernel (maybe I could learn how to sign the driver) and the bit about a new kernel update coming in and restoring the old driver. And I had to use Intel's suggestion of "dracut --force" to write a new initiramfs so it will survive reboots.
Is there a reason ClearOS can't include a driver update for e1000e? Version 3.8.4 is several revisions newer than what I had on my stock system. -
