I'm using this NIC family with this driver in all my diskless setups with kernels since 2.0.* up to 2.4.20, and I never experienced the problem you describe, so I would check for some hardware, bios, chipset, cable, hub or switch problem. >From about 30 NICs currently in production for 6 month up to 5 years, I had one failure (3c905b). I haven't found Don's driver failing since ages ;-), through the b versions created me some headaches for etherbooting and the newest 3c905cx-txm has a problem with software bootprom flashing :-(.
