Thanks Michael
I tried various settings.
# ethtool -c eth0
Coalesce parameters for eth0:
Adaptive RX: off TX: off
stats-block-usecs: 1000000
sample-interval: 0
pkt-rate-low: 0
pkt-rate-high: 0
rx-usecs: 500
rx-frames: 20
rx-usecs-irq: 500
rx-frames-irq: 20
tx-usecs: 600
tx-frames: 53
tx-usecs-irq: 600
tx-frames-irq: 20
rx-usecs-low: 0
rx-frame-low: 0
tx-usecs-low: 0
tx-frame-low: 0
rx-usecs-high: 0
rx-frame-high: 0
tx-usecs-high: 0
tx-frame-high: 0
But it seems something is wrong because when network load becomes high I get :
Jul 4 23:01:19 dada1 kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

Then the machine crashes at this point.
tg3.c :
#define DRV_MODULE_VERSION "3.31"
#define DRV_MODULE_RELDATE "June 8, 2005"
# ethtool -g eth0
Ring parameters for eth0:
Pre-set maximums:
RX: 511
RX Mini: 0
RX Jumbo: 255
TX: 0
Current hardware settings:
RX: 400
RX Mini: 0
RX Jumbo: 40
TX: 511
Thank you
