I have seen this problem with this NIC. You need to increase
the number of buffers in the RX and TX ring in eepro100.c file.
Right now it is set to 32, change it to 256 or 128 this error
will go away.

Changing the Tx queue size or number of Rx skbuffs waiting to be filled
will not fix a problem. It might mask some problem e.g. a temporary
shortage of skbuffs, but it doesn't fix anything.
The problem what I saw was resource problem and as a result I had packet
drops. The
input rate was high and the driver didn't have enough resources to handle.
It was a pure resource problem.
