That motherboard has dual lan, are you using both of them?
I don't have that chip version, so hard to tell if it is using dual port 
with a single chip
or not.  There is a hack for the dual port PCI-X version already in the 
driver,
that turns off receive checksums if both ports are in use. Please try 
turning off
receive checksums with ethtool and see if that helps.
