I had experimented the same problem with a sis191 network card.

well, I feel that:

this is a kernel problem, I had opened bugs in the past to get resolved.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10694

This should be applied only on some systems nor on every single one.
So i do not feel that this should applied. One way that could be 
resolved would be on the tftp server with different configuration for 
those network cards.

In  the mean time, I am testing  kernel  linux-2.6.31.4 so i guess that 
is a good way for you to test if this problem has been resolved.
