I am not sure what is happening - you need to provide the timestamps for 
context, and some more information (eg /sbin/ifconfig eth0, when it works, 
and when it fails).

Can you annotate the log (showing "things were working as advertised here", or 
"at this time the network failed" or "at this time I tried to do 
such-n-such")?

How often is "constantly"?

Are you running it through a hub? 

Can you try it on another machine? Can you try it with 2.4.19-pre2 or later?

When it fails, can you try /sbin/rmmod CDCEther; /sbin/modprobe CDCEther? Can 
you try just power cycling the modem?
