Just in case it's may be interesting.
Driver from elrepo works normal.
The system was freezed under a stress tests, but in normal mode it works.

Then login to the system and rebuild the forcedeth driver:
I've wrote a simple script to updating..:
this scripts download latest forcedeth driver from elrepo and rebuild them.
Installing the driver:
Note: I've built the driver in VE (Virtual Environment), but install it on the HN (Hardware Node)
Load the new driver and restart the network:
dmesg:
