The environment of the machine is as follows.

Machine : PRIMERGY model RX200S3
CPU     : Xeon 5160 3.0 GHz * 2
Memory  : 12 GB(2048 MB * 6)
HDD     : AL-9LX 73GB * 2 (Onboard IME RAID1)
NIC     : Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BC5715 Gigabit Ethernet (rev a3) * 2
         Intel Corporation 82545GM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 04)  * 1
OS      : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 GA

It is confirmed that this problem happens similarly on NIC of the Intel 
Corporation.
Best Regards,
