You guys ARE disabling the hardware multicast filter with

options eepro100 multicast_filter_limit=3

(in /etc/conf.modules, assuming you're using modules), right? I have
half a dozen eepro100's in various PCs running Linux (all single
processor, though), all rock solid with this option, all crash within
a few minutes of uptime without it.
