Transmit problems with eepro100

I am getting transmit timed out errors about every 5 minutes in my syslog.
They look like this:

Apr 29 10:09:32 flibble kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050  0000 at 7114712/7114726 command 000c0000.
Apr 29 10:09:32 flibble kernel: eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter...

These problems seem to be causing small locks in the X traffic I'm running across the card.

mii-diag returns:

Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #1:  3000 7829 02a8 0154 05e1 45e1 0003 0000.

 Basic mode status register 0x7829 ... 782d.
   Link status: previously broken, but now reestablished.

eepro100-diag -f -a returns:

Index #1: Found a Intel 82557 EtherExpressPro100B adapter at 0x6800.

  No interrupt sources are pending.
   The transmit unit state is 'Suspended'.
   The receive unit state is 'Ready'.
  This status is normal for an activated but idle interface.


eepro100-diag -f -m returns:

eepro100-diag -f -e returns:

Index #1: Found a Intel 82557 EtherExpressPro100B adapter at 0x6800.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address 00:90:27:A6:07:B3.
  Board assembly 721383-007, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.

The kernel I'm using is the standard 2.2.10 kernel as shipped with suse 6.2. If
anyone could please help with these problems, that would be great.
