The Card is transfering Data but with the reset I always get the

That sounds like *exactly* the same problem I'm currently having with
my Broadcom Ethernet card in FC4test2
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=154512) -- also
a Pentium 4 HT processor. In test1, I was able to make it go away by
adding "acpi=off" to the command line in Grub; maybe that will work
for you with your card too.
