receive FIFO errors on vortex ethernet cards

Anyone know what receive FIFO errors mean?  

They don't seem to be causing major issues, but they do seem to be load
related.   I get the errors both on vortex cards, and eepro cards, though they
seem to have higher rates on the vortex cards (the vortex machines are
faster machines).   I am getting on the order of 3-4 fifo errors a second under
heavy network load.

Are there any kernel or network driver parameters I can change to 
decrease these errors?
