You also mentioned in your OP that it's a 3Com NIC... if it's an older
card, it's also not inconceivable that the NIC itself is going bad.
I've seen that before with well-used NICs, as well as ports going
flaky on switches after years of problem-free use.

Not saying it's NOT an OS issue, just that from what you've said so
far, sounds more like hardware issues.
