Could you describe in some detail what other hardware you have in that system?

It's not your network at fault. Something or somebody is interfering with the 
interrupt-handling on your system. An overrun is the situation where a packet
is overwritten by the next packet without being handled by the driver.

We'd like to see the output of lspci and cat /proc/interrupts.

Interrupt 12 is normally assigned to a ps/2 mouse. Is there a mouse on your 
system, and is it being used? (IE: do you run a graphical desktop on the same
system?) If not: is the mouse disabled or can you check whether it can be 
disabled in the BIOS?
