This is normal when using new device. The driver will not update the bradning 
strings in pci.ids unless it is installed via rpm.

I tested with 2.4.21-50 kernel and 82574L device and was not able to reproduce 
this issue. Link issues are generally caused by interrupt problems. Could you 
please provide the following information:

1. cat /proc/interrupts (after loading the driver and ifup)
2. dmesg
3. ethtool -t ethX
4. lspci -vvv

Also - we usually recommend to check for BIOS updates for your system if 
possible.

Thanks,
Emil
