00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3)
CentOS 4.4, 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL, 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp, 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL platform i386
It looks like for x86_64 this problem exists too, but I didn't test it hard

There are 2 issues:
1.
messages in dmesg like this: eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
fixed by options forcedeth max_interrupt_work=20

2.
During big data transfer (more than 1-1.5 Gb) I have some data corruption, like 300-500 random bytes per 1Gb, error usually group in 2-3 groups.
This problem exists between forcedeth<->forcedeth ethernet controllers only, I've tried forcedeth, tg3, sk98lin, e1000 and some 100Mbit cards like e100.

Please, give me some ideas.

I'll continue tests, try to install 2.6-latest kernel and will submit additional info.
