3c905c hangs under high load, after a few too much work in irq messages

2 boxes have seen the same problem so far, under load (~100mbps saturation), 
we get a few too much work in irq messages (typically 2-6) and then the card 
is hung (we've waited for hours) and needs a down/up before it starts 
receiving anything again.  problem is reproducible.  please CC me if 
possible.

Example:

Jan  9 09:20:42 thor kernel: eth1: Too much work in interrupt, status 8081.  
Temporarily disabling functions (7f7e).
Jan  9 09:20:42 thor kernel: eth1: Too much work in interrupt, status 8011.  
Temporarily disabling functions (7fee).
Jan  9 09:45:39 thor kernel: eth1: Too much work in interrupt, status 8481.  
Temporarily disabling functions (7b7e).
Jan  9 09:45:39 thor kernel: eth1: Too much work in interrupt, status 8011.

Also, from a previous hang:
