[Repost] Tulip Bug ?

(I can't tell if it made its way to the list......)

I also have some more information. This ethdev is connected to a
Efficient Networks Speedstream 5260, which may be the cause of the
problems (the modem came w/ a D-Link RTL8139C ethdev, but I replaced
both of my ethdevs w/ tulips.) Maybe I need to find out how to program
the EEPROM for 10Mbps half duplex ?????

I am currently running 2.4.18-pre9-mjc2, but this also happens w/
2.4.18-pre9 (and 2.4.18-pre7-mjc, maybe others)

I am getting NETDEV Watchdog timeouts

I have been getting this at largely unpredictable intervals. The
solutions seems to be to ifdown the ethdevs, and rmmod the driver. then
ifup the ethdevs (which also means I have to stop my PPPoE-DSL
connection).

eth1, the dev that is timing out is not sharing its interrupt.
These boards are/were marketed under the brand name SVEC. I cannot find
the box they came in at the moment, so don't have the model number.

Just for reference, here's the relevant lines from lspci -vv
