Marcel de Riedmatten has suggested to change the latency value of 3c982 using setpci. It changes the value (80 for eth0 can be change to 72 ) but the min or max latency doesn't change. It seems that setpci can not change these registers.
Anyway changing to 72 or a lower value doesn't fix the problem.
