If it is affecting the system clock as well, maybe the kernel timer is 
not set right?

You can check this with dmesg | less.  It'll be near the top of the 
output, and the message might be something like "could not set mtr".

I had an issue once where my system time kept getting out of sync by a 
few hours after only a few days.  It turned out to be the kernel timer.

If this is the case for you, then you will likely need to reconfigure 
and recompile a kernel, which might be troublesome (i.e. not as straight 
forward as it should be) with the distros you listed.

But, I would suspect driver issues first, as Gustin has suggested.
