Here is what the interrupts look like:

Upon starting a user-space TCP connection to myself (no traffic running on eth2-3,
eth1 is not plugged in to a cable. eth0 is handling a small amount of traffic,
no more than about 25 packets per second on average):
[root@localhost lanforge]# tg3: eth5: Error, poll already scheduled

tg3: eth5: Error, poll already scheduled

tg3: eth5: Error, poll already scheduled
tg3: eth5: Error, poll already scheduled
Please let me know what other debugging info I can get you.
