Don't know if it is a related problem but on the same chipset at 10Mb/sec
I get lots of these:

I just had to reboot my gateway because this was our Internet link and
it stopped working.  I still see the errors but it seems to be staying
up.  Notice that it doesn't happen very often.  The above 8 errors were
spread over 6 hours.  When it went down, ifconfig showed it still up but
packets would not go out that interface.

I was going to update the kernel on that system.  Would that be a good
idea at this point or should I wait to see what changes come from these
reports?
