I've encountered this with older kernels when I tried a GigE NIC.

you should retry with the newer driver from :
   http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/SRC

Mine has been running 2.4.21-rc3 + this driver for 8 days now without problem,
and there's not much difference between -rc3 and -rc6.

Willy
