since you've disabled bonding, have you tried
both interfaces or only one of them ? eg: if
your system works fine on the tulip, it may be
the other one behaving badly.

very old, it was one of the reasons I modified
the driver a few years ago, and should be OK
now.

well, I don't have much time to spend on this
anymore, perhaps Chad Tindel has, but I doubt it.
that's the reason why I nearly didn't work on
the 2.4 port. But I still read reports, and
sometimes reply :-)

Cheers,
Willy
