i've also had problems with the driver on kernels up to an including
2.2.14 on an intel PR440FX motherboard. Connected to a HP
procurve 8000M switch. It constantly reports "Excessive CRC/Alignment
Errors".
Put 2.2.15pre18 on the one machine and the errors for that machine
stopped. I haven't tried any other kernels since then
