This is such a common problem, that I now run this little script all
the time. It triggers once or twice a day most days; more if I'm
doing something that involves heavy network use. FWIW, the later 2.5
kernels seem to be better than 2.4.19.

#!/bin/sh
tail -f /var/log/kern.log |
while read f
do
if expr "$f" \: '.*eth1: Error' > /dev/null 2>&1
then
cardctl reset
fi
done
