Hi,

We have exactly the same problem with 2.4.9, 2.4.10 and 2.4.13, so
We had to switch to Intel's driver.

from 'cat /proc/pci'
Bus 1, device 1, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 8).
IRQ 9.
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=56.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xff8fe000 [0xff8fefff].
I/O at 0xdf00 [0xdf3f].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xff600000 [0xff6fffff].

It is Intel i810 motherboard with NIC onboard.

but Intel's driver (e100-1.6.22) says on boot:
eth0: Intel(R) 82559 Fast Ethernet LAN on Motherboard

the chip is:
GD82559
L021LP51

We have this problem when nic is under high traffic.

Is there any other information that can help you to track the problem?

P.S. I can reproduce this problem any time.
