Strange.  This driver hasn't been changed in quite some time and it's  
very stable.  I'm running Fedora 11 and I don't see the problem at all.

I note that your NIC is autonegotiating to only 100 Mbps instead of  
1000 Mbps; is your switch a 100 Mbps device?

Out of curiosity, are you running with or without NetworkManager active?

Increase the verbosity of driver messages and see if any additional  
light is shed on the subject.

ethtool -s eth0 msglvl 0xffff
