Had a similar problem with eepro cards going silent under load on linux
2.2.x. Instead of rebooting, try dropping the interface and bringing it
and your routes back up. See if it comes back to life. (I had to do
that, _and_ remove the driver module, then re-insmod the driver, and
bring interfaces and routes back up).

Mine worked fine, until I exceeded some unknown bitrate, then it just
stopped talking.

Not saying this is your problem, but it's something to check. Not a
squid problem, though, IMO.
