The latest Xen is very particular about network adapter settings inside of each VDS. When the virtual adapter is used in a certain way, Xen generates "Too many frags" errors on our end and then disables it. To address the problem, make sure that the ethtool utility is installed and run this command:
Also add this as a startup command (by editing the file /etc/rc.local, generally).
