Oh, I see you found the logs.
Well, obviously the driver didn't write anything relevant to the
logs. And I now see that the driver only writes information about
transmission errors when its debug flag is set higher than the
default.
Now that your machine's been running for a while without trouble, does
the "ifconfig" output show any accumulated transmission errors?
If not, I think your best bet is to try swapping cards with your
wife's machine to determine whether it's really a hardware or software
problem.
