Not for me. I have lots of these errors on a dual port 82557 eepro100 with both ports extremely busy, when running ifconfig just to dump the stats. And the ports continued running just fine after the errors. I.e. I didn't need to down/up the interfaces.. If you look at the code, there is a possibility there to restart the receiver and _not_ to do so. Perhaps in your case it restarts it and in mine, it doesn.
Is there a datasheet for eepro100 (or at least for 82557 chipset?) somewhere? It would be interesting to understand what status 8 actually means.
