Possibly related datapoint: after several days of uptime, my
2.4.0-test10pre? machine went into some sort of slow mode after coming
back from suspend (and doing an /etc/init.d/networking restart). Symptoms
seemed to be extra second or so setting up a TCP connection. Ping, etc.,
appeared to work just fine, no packet loss apparent, bandwidth looked good
too. Sadly I had to do actual work that required zippy web access, so I
rebooted rather than doing a thorough diagnostic. This is a VAIO with
compiled in eepro100, no special networking options.

Oh, and btw, test12-pre7 seems to have broken my USB camera, which worked
with the aforementioned kernel. My build of gphoto2 downloads images via
usbdevfs (ugh) and quietly created a bunch of .jpgs that were almost
entirely 0s..
