Despite the small number of dropped packages (26) the total ammount of
received packages is also very low (15.1 MiB), there shouldn't be a
single drop.
Is "dmesg | grep -i eth0" showing any anomaly?
I'll give the code from the broadcom website a wiz...just for the record
here is the status after a few hours of use:
# sudo ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:5a:d3:d0:0c

That's more reasonable as there are no additional dropped packages but
traffic has increased a lot.
# dmesg | grep eth0

Beyond the "swaping dance" (eth1 → eth0) the rest looks normal.
I would keep monitoring the interface and the number of dropped packages
for a while, but regardless the backported kernel is working fine, I'd
open a bug report so kernel developers review this.
