The worst behaviour I observed was under heavy NFS load, with the link being unavailable for extended periods of time. Mostly, though, the problem manifests itself when the card is inserted and the interface is trying to be brought up via DHCP using dhclient, as if the NIC is not being initialised properly, perhaps. I don't know if this is the same problem, but I thought I'd mention it.
