Hi,
on 2.3.17,.16 and propably earlier kernels I have problems w/ my nw card:
Especially when starting several simultaneous data transfers (like nfs
access & web borwsing), I get timeout-messages in my log and short after
that networking dies a slow death :

Sep 8 10:30:40 flash kernel: NET: 1 messages suppressed.
Sep 8 10:30:40 flash kernel: dst cache overflow
Sep 8 10:30:48 flash kernel: nfs: server mikasa not responding, still trying
Sep 8 10:30:48 flash kernel: NET: 7 messages suppressed.
Sep 8 10:30:48 flash kernel: dst cache overflow
....

My HW is an Asus P2B-LS board, eepro reports the following on startup:
<4>eepro100.c:v1.09j 7/27/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/dr
<6>eth0: Intel PCI EtherExpress Pro100 at 0xc8002000, 00:E0:18:98:4C:BE, IRQ 9.
<6> Board assembly 668081-002, Physical connectors present: RJ45
<6> Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
<6> General self-test: passed.
<6> Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
<6> Internal registers self-test: passed.
<6> ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x24c9f043).
<6> Receiver lock-up workaround activated.

On timeout, eepro outputs the following:
