I see this problem too during a FTP put operation. The network remains up
as a concurrently executing ping has no problem and I can restart the FTP
transfer which will happily transfer an random number of packets before
halting again. I also noticed a nasty memory leak associated with this
-- if I rerun the FTP transfer enough times the system will run out of
memory. It may be related to lost RX packets. The RX error count seen
from "ifconfig" adds up very quickly on a put. FTP get doesn't provoke
this bug nearly as much.

I'm looking into the driver, though I am quite unfamiliar with Linux
networking kernel code.
