FWIW, I have a dual-proc SuperMicro motherboard P3DM3 with integrated Adaptec SCSI and Intel 8255x built-in NIC.
Sometimes on a cold boot I get the "kernel: eth0: card reports no RX buffers" that repeats, but if I follow it with a warm boot the message doesn't appear (even on subsequent warm boots). So this is definitely reproducible, but it doesn't happen every time.
I can't offer much more than that, but at least you know you're not the only one experiencing this.

We have several Supermicro 370DL3 boards (scsi, built into epro100, dual pentium iii) - which are giving the following ethernet card error on 2.2.18p21, but not on 2.2.18p17. This error has happened on 3 out of 4 boards with this configuration.
Oct 18 12:17:34 db1 kernel: eth0: card reports no RX buffers. The above message repeats itself and the ethernet card does not work.

I believe this has been an ongoing issue for these intel nics?
