I don't remember actual patches from a year ago. Current 2.4.x has code that resets the via-rhine.
Since you run on 2.2 the drivers from www.scyld.com are an option (not sure what the 2.4 status is on those). They are similar to the in-kernel version but not identical. If you do test, any difference in behaviour is intresting.
