What kernel version are you using?
I seem to remember to have fixed an issue with NIU driver, long time ago.

First thing you could do is to increase the message level in the driver (I
remeber NIU uses these msglvl settings).
By command:
ethtool -s eth0 msglvl $((0x7fff))
View the message level by command:
ethtool eth0
Cheers,
