Each syslog is showing the following:

The interesting line seems to be:

Aug 14 13:47:23 kernel: [    2.438588] 0000:00:19.0: 0000:00:19.0: The
NVM Checksum Is Not Valid

Which seems to remind me of the notorious e1000e driver bug we saw a
while back which ate people's hw:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/25/510
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11382
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263555
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459202

The patches that are in the current Karmic kernel should prevent this
from happening in the future, but does not fix already affected/damaged
hw.  What I'm concerned is you mentioned this was working in Jaunty
which should have already had these patches applied.  And it seems these
systems were working fine with early Karmic releases as well according
to the test results:

Can you dump your eeprom using ethtool -e

I'm going to raise this to the rest of the kernel team.  Thanks.
