Please increase the device verbosity level ('ethtool -s eth1 msglvl 255')
and send what appears in dmesg.

Otherwise dmesg from boot, ethtool -S output and /proc/interrupts content
for both a working 2.6.22.x and latest git could be interesting but they
may be harder to collect with a production server.

Trying the 2.6.23 driver with a 2.6.22.x kernel would help narrow the
regression too.
