I used to have a similar problem some years ago with Linksys/Liteon PNIC (80C168) chipset. I've create a little patch. Maybe this will help you.
Sorry, it's only update to Kernel 2.2.x, cause I never used this cards since then;-) It sould be little afford to integrate it in later Kernels
BTW I've sent the patch do Donald Becker at that time but he never included it. Maybe the patched driver will not work correctly with other types of cards. I've never tried this
