I get that too, on the Reibl.  

Any large quantity of packets (either a HUGE file or just several
quicks shots) is enough to crash the Reibl's drivers, using any
protocol, when receiving packets from the outside.

The funny thing is, MiNT-Net itself does not crash. Example:

I can literally kill the Riebl's connection by accessing Apache
from my Windows laptop (which has a 100mb card), but still get
access to Apache on localhost using CAB or W3M right after.

The error message I get from the Riebl is:

<rakas:>/e/root$ ping paska
PING paska (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: internal error.
ping: wrote paska 64 chars, ret=-1
