I have seen this issue with other boards that use the forcedeth driver. I
think there is some bug in how it interacts with the nic chipset, but haven't
seen a current patch. There is a patch slated for 2.6.19 kernel,
(http://lwn.net/Articles/199045/) and I am sure RedHat will backport this as
soon as it is tested.
