I had the very same problem with the FastEthernet on a 7206 a few
months ago. I couldn't find a load that supported everything we
needed *AND* did not exhibit this problem.

But I found a workaround: turn keepalive off ("no keepalive") on the
FE interface. The problem will go away and you will not have trouble
with the FE interface.
