Strange Problem with v.0.99G and 3c905B-TX

Had been running fine until I allowed it to autodetect.

Now, I have had two systems in the past coupld of days (after running fine
for at least 24 hours) lose all network connectivity and log this message.

Oct 11 09:13:42 ops kernel: eth0: Setting half-duplex based on MII #24
link partner capability of 0020.

I am running these systems on a Cisco Cat2924XL.  Each system is directly
conected to a 10/100 full/half duplex autosensing port on the Cisco.

When it first boots, everything is fine and the system comes up with the
card in 100MB/s and Full Duplex.  Then, after what seems like some random
period of time, it logs the above message and the system loses network
connectivity.

Thoughts?
