My server have 2 Netgear cards and I'm using the National Semiconductor dp8381x driver included with 2.4.23-pre3. Also, my system doesn't lock up after `ifconfig lo down', ifconfig just hangs and becomes unkillable and I can't reboot the machine, use ifconfig anymore, etc. > Actually for me this happens when I do "pump -i eth0" > The system is frozen dead (even SysRq-B does not work) > That's when I am using 8139cp driver (no problem in 2.4.22) > I tried using 8139too (I believe it is supposed to work, right?) - I > do not get this lockup, but instead it starts printing "too much work > at interrupt " messages all the time.
