If replugging the cable helps, it has good chances to be not a driver bug. It may happen to be hardware flow control misbehavior or something like it. What is your mode (10/100 full/half duplex)?
There are a lot of things which may be done to get more information what happens. Change cable. Try another port on hub. Try host-to-host ethernet connection. Set speedo_debug to 3 in the driver. Check the card status by mii-diag from scyld.com.
