Hello,
Trying out the 2.5.64 kernel to try to solve some IDE specific
problems with 2.4.x kernels. Now I have another problem. We have a
Windows LAN and a Windows XP with WinRoute Pro as gateway.
When booting the linux-machine with the 2.5.64 kernel the windows
machine goes to 100% cpu and the switch (Dlink) goes crazy (loosing
link, other machines get 100k/s instead of 10-12MiB/s etc).
I compiled the 2.5.64 with as few options as possible, no
netfilter, or IPSec or similar stuff.
What can be the problem?

Forgot to say I am using a Intel Pro100+ NIC and I have tested with
both the Becker driver and the Intel driver.

I've seen something similar [1] happen to a LAN with one Windows XP machine
running vcool: http://vcool.occludo.net/ . This is also available for Linux
(http://vcool.occludo.net/VC_Linux.html). Are you running this patch or a
similar one?
[1] all machines were seeing frame errors on packets > 250 bytes; it was a
10 mbit coax lan.

Nope, no vcool or anything similar. But it is very odd that the switch
would go crazy too!

Using 100mbit switched network.

Not that I am aware of.. Running only one 8 port switch. Works good
with the 2.4.x kernels, but not with 2.5.. very odd.

Tried with a Realtek 8139B and the Intel Pro100+ adapter. The same
thing happens. The LAN goes crazy and all programs trying to
access or use the LAN on the Linuxbox goes super-slow or crashes.
I am rather lost when it comes to where I should begin to look.
Have not compiled in IPX, network filtering and most other things. The
only network card I have compiled in is the Rtl8139 and the Becker
Intel Pro100+ driver.
Here is my net config: http://tnonline.net/conf.png
I have not compiled in ACPI or APM or APIC. And they are disabled in
BIOS too.

Tried with all of them enabled too. No change in state. LAN and
gateway goes down, or becomes incredibly slow and unusable...
