Before anyone can really offer any suggestions, you really need to give more details of what you have there - things like: 1) the kernel version 2) if SMP or non-SMP or use /proc/version for 1->3 3) the compiler version 4) the contents of /proc/net/dev 5) the nature of traffic that causes problem (e.g. heavy Rx or heavy Tx) 6) are any non-std patches being used? (e.g. vmware) 7) a full card description (make, model; driver & lspci output if applicable) 8) network environment card is connected to.
