Yes:

[1186598.218205] eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[1]
WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1]
[1186598.281314] eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0]
WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1]

I'll keep the traffic on eth0 now until it breaks again, hopefully
spewing out more debugging info with your patch and then I'll switch to
eth1.
