Dual port card giving errors and hanging system

We have a server which is giving the following errors:

Aug 14 07:04:20 machine kernel: eth2: Unknown receiver error, status=0x7048.
Aug 14 07:04:20 machine kernel: eth2: Unknown receiver error, status=0x5048.

We're getting more of the 0x5048 errors than the 0x7048 errors.

Some specs:
-----------
Driver version: "eepro100.c:v1.24 7/25/2002 Donald Becker
<[email protected]>"
Linux Kernel version: "Linux machine 2.2.19 #1 SMP Tue May 29 16:24:59 BST
2001 i686 unknown"
Machine-type: Intel ISP-2150
(http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/2150/isp2150/index.htm)

eth0 is also an Intel eepro100 card built into the motherboard.

Since the box is a 2RU unit, the new dual port card shares a riser-board
with a Mylex AcceleRAID 170 PCI RAID controller.

The machine has been running fine for 12months+ with a single eepro100 card
in the same slot - but now with the dual card it seems to have these
problems.

It was mentioned in an earlier email
(http://www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-eepro100/2002-Jun/0043.html) to someone:
'This message is reporting "Rx has no resources", but it's not a lack of
receive buffers. That likely means that the eepro100 chip couldn't get
enough bus bandwidth, or there was a PCI transaction problem.'

Could this be because we're sharing the PCI slot with the Mylex RAID
controller?

Here's a 'lspci -v':
