The Rx_TCO_Packets counter should increase at each timeout you get, so this looks like another problem.
I have got two servers with two different EEPRO100 network cards. One works better with the eepro100 driver, the other one seems to favour the e100 driver :-) Both cards are working flawlessly now, however I was close to buying new NICs because of the problems like command timeouts, no resources messages and NFS timeouts.
