Ethernet problem in 2895 kernel

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R]

Since updating to the FC6 386 2895 kernel I have has a number
of partial failures of the Ethernet system under heavy load.
System: Asus a8n-e socket 939 with 3 GB RAM running 386 FC6.
Eth0 is a PCI 10/100 NIC, eth1 is the onboard gigabit NIC.
NAT controlled by rc.firewall 2.4.  Eth0 connects to the
cable modem, eth1 to the local net.

Under heavy load, the following error messages appear
and then eth0 stops working, severing the internet connection.
I have not seen this problem prior to the 2895 kernel.
