neural_shock> it is driver from 2.4.18-2SCORE kernel.
neural_shock> unfortunately no. i have no other cards. and why do you think, that problem

Because PM/Ethernet uses device driver heavyly to increase
performance, some un-stable driver causes problems.

Actually, our other user same met same situations, but we do not have
3C905B, so we do not have test the NIC. 

Could you test the other driver 
http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html

chage
static int max_interrupt_work = 20;
#define TX_RING_SIZE	16
#define TX_QUEUE_LEN	10		/* Limit ring entries actually used.  */
#define RX_RING_SIZE	32
to
static int max_interrupt_work = 2000;

#define TX_RING_SIZE	32
#define TX_QUEUE_LEN	30		/* Limit ring entries actually used.  */
#define RX_RING_SIZE	64

or
