I got the similar messages with FreeBSD with 3C503 8bit cards. 
The message is
ed0: warning - reciever ring buffer overrun

Although ftp works fine, NFS doesn't. I can mount safely. But
if I try to compile on the mounted file system, it just waits there.

I can not 'kill -9' make or cc process. Most of the time, I
ended up with rebooting the machine.
