Try to upgrade ifplugd.
They had few bugs back then (although I expreianced them using RTL8139), and 
it might be the problem. Ifplugd is supposed to detect disconnection, adn 
then bring the if down. If it detects it by mistake, it will try to bring 
down the interface, to detect it is connected (and then bring it up). It 
might happen to you few times a second, and it might happen once evey minute 
or few minutes (or once an hour), however, you should try to:
1) upgrade ifplugd
2) if it doesn't help, avoid using it. Use std. interface settings.

Ez.
