[eepro100] eepro100, Same Old Timed Out?

I don't know if there is anything new to try with this issue except switch
cards. But, my setup:
8 mail servers, 2x777MHz i686 Dell, PERC Raid Arrays (Raid-5), percraid.o
drivers, 4x eepro100 NICs (with on-board NIC), Cisco 6509 Switch/Router.
2.2.16-4 kernel (from RedHat), qmail, aic7xxx driver.
Switched from fixed 100/Full to auto negotiate based on a statement about
100/Full fixed could have problems. It auto negotiates to 100/Full, but I
had unplug the cables first to actually get it to autonegotiate.
When I run at loads of about 2.00 or so, things seem to do well. When I
increase to loads of 8+, machines handling RX and TX traffic always break
(the TX only machines never seem to break, but that could be unrelated)
I started with the kernel 2.2.16-4 eepro100 1.09j-t driver from Andrey...
cmd_timeout errors. Switched to 1.11 from Donald... "Transmit timed out"
errors.
I've used rx-copybreak=10, rx-copybreak=1518 (I was desperate),
max_interrupt_work=800, "noapic" boot option.
I've thought of using someone's custom modification for chaning the MTU, but
I didn't think that was related.
Note: eth0 and USB are both on IRQ 11 and bus 0, could this cause a
problem? One card timed out with only 2 NIC cards on IRQ 11 and 5, while
the USB was on 10 (still bus 0)
eth0 is the default route out, while the traffic is sent to eth1, other
cards currently unused
Here is the summary of logs I kept during the NIC timeouts:
