IMNSHO, realtek are pretty close to junk grade NICs.   they have far too 
many variations with far too many weird bugs when used for any more than 
single user desktop kind of systems.

what speed is the local link to the modem?   even if your internet 
connection is 1Mbps, if your ethernet is running at 100baseT, that can 
be 10MB/sec bursts, and a few of those could potentially cause bus 
contention issues

how fast is the LAN?    since the errors were on eth3 and eth4, I'm 
wondering what eth0, eth1, and eth2 are doing traffic wise.

I wouldn't rely on that assumption.   Thermal monitoring might not be 
configured correctly for this board, etc etc.
