[SOLVED] Periodic NIC issues (?) with Protectli Vault, Intel i226-V

[fornax]

Ok, it's been 2 weeks without incident, so I'm going to (cautiously) call this resolved by the switch from coreboot BIOS to AMI. I did update Protectli; they indicated there's no plan for a patch to coreboot for the VP3200 series at this time. The support person mentioned they wanted to talk to the dev team about it, but I haven't heard anything in the week since, so I'm assuming nothing further is forthcoming. I'll update this if that changes.

Thanks to everyone who pitched in with troubleshooting help and suggestions!
