What distribution/kernel are you using?  My backend (I forget the chipset,
but it was for my AMD Regor) was somewhat supported by the kernel in ubuntu
9.04... it would work for a while, then crap out like you described.  Mostly
only in gigabit mode though.  Forcing it to 100 Mb made things better (I
don't remember if it was perfect or just much, much better).  Upgrading to
whatever kernel ubuntu 9.10 used fixed the issue (it was a documented issue
they specifically fixed in the kernel, not just a"huh, looks like the fixed
SOMETHING").
