eth0 transmit timing out. What's going on?

More fun.. from my syslog:

May 21 21:39:36 tarot kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY
status 782d, resetting...
May 21 21:39:40 tarot kernel: nfs: server runescribe not responding, still
trying
May 21 21:39:40 tarot last message repeated 6 times
May 21 21:39:41 tarot kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY
status 782d, resetting...
May 21 21:39:42 tarot kernel: nfs: task 59136 can't get a request slot
May 21 21:39:42 tarot kernel: nfs: task 59137 can't get a request slot
May 21 21:39:42 tarot kernel: nfs: task 59138 can't get a request slot

When this happens no packets are being moved through eth0. My ssh
connections are hung.
I can reset manually by performing 'ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig eth0 up'
and all my network connections come back up.

runescribe is a Sparc IPX running Debian Potato and exporting with the NFS
kernel server, kernel 2.2.15

tarot is an Acer somethingorother, AMD K5 running Debian Slink with libc6
2.0.7 compiled against kernel 2.2.14 with USB backport, and running same
2.2.14 kernel.

I have an export from runescribe mounted on tarot, and currently I'm
tar'ing user accounts into the NFS mount for archival purposes.

I posted earlier of a problem where a machine running 2.3.99-pre8 would
hang when attempting to mount a share from runescribe, and I'm wondering
now if the two problems are related.

Systems summary:

tarot: AMD K5, ALI chipset, kernel 2.2.14/USB, glibc 2.0.7/2.2.14/USB,
       eth0: D-link via-rhine

runescribe: Sparc IPX, kernel 2.2.15, glibc 2.1.6, NFS kernel server

heathen: AMD K6, i430TX chipset, kernel 2.3.99-pre8, glibc 2.1.3
         eth0: DEC 21140 Tulip
