I have RH6.0 with kernel 2.2.5-15 and :

eth0: 3Com 3c900 Boomerang 10Mbps Combo at 0xdc80,  00:60:08:c8:be:e4, IRQ 9
  8K word-wide RAM 3:5 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface.
  Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.

It's running very well, but after few minutes it stops working and kernel is
logging this(3-5x per second):

Jun 18 12:11:08 ns kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status
e000.
Jun 18 12:11:08 ns kernel:   Flags; bus-master 1, full 1; dirty 735 current

Procesor is PII Celeron (Mendocino) 333MHz.

It's driver problem? Can somebody help me ?
