[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
After receiving ~50 MB of network traffic the DFE530-TX
(REV-A3-1) starts emitting
Aug 24 11:13:57 cheesy kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Aug 24 11:13:57 cheesy kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
Aug 24 11:13:57 cheesy kernel: eth0: reset finished after 5 microseconds.
After some more traffic the resets stop working and the card
cannot transmit or receive anymore.

Reloading the module doesn't help either. Only a reboot
reenables network connectivity.

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.4.9-cheesy-1 (david@cheesy) (gcc version 2.95.4 20010319 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Wed Aug 22 17:21:16 CEST 2001
[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
Downloading amounts of data (>50MB) will eventually trigger
the problem. Transmitting data at less than full speed will
not trigger it (or at least I haven't waited long enough?)
