I'm using ubuntu and I got this error message since about two years with every linux-kernel.
The problem appears with 32bit and with 64bit.
I have an Asus M2N-L mainboard which has two Marvell 88E8056 chips onboard.
The machine is used as router. eth0 is my internal interface and eth1 is the external interface
used by ppp0 to connect to the DSL-modem.
I get this error message only for eth1 !
Also I get a lot of dropped and frame errors for this interface:
eth1 ...

          RX packets:19876766 errors:614219 dropped:614219 overruns:0 frame:108483

Since Ubuntu 10.04 the situation has become worse: whereas prior only my logs got flooded,
now the interface stops working once a day.
