I have been chasing a problem with a pci-e TrendNet(TEG-ECTX) gigabit card. After adding the card to a machine with a new Centos 6.2 install and naming it 'eth4' it works well for 6 to 12 hours and then fails.
Try moving the network card to a new slot, especially if you can swap the network card with another card which is known to work. Also, try swapping the card into a spare server.
If the problem follows the network card, then the card is probably bad. If a known-good card misbehaves in the slot where you previously had the network card, then the slot may be bad as well.
Or it could mean that the PCI-e slots are not providing enough power for this card, or the slots are specialized to run only certain types of cards. What motherboard does the OP have?
