System wasn't hung when I got to the console, although it might as well
have been. System was incredibly slow, took >4 minutes to login (approx.
20-30 seconds to respond to keystrokes). Switching consoles appeared to be
lagged by a fraction of a second or so.. where normally it's instantaneous.

Got to the command prompt after 10 minutes, but it never responded to the
three finger salute... so I ended up hitting the reset button.

Software:
Linux 1.2.11 with 1.3.5 8390.c as suggested (made no difference, really).

Hardware configuration:

DX4/100, 40mb RAM

NE2000 card:
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:B4:64:4E:F9
inet addr:198.68.11.1 Bcast:198.68.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:2593 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:3018 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300

2 BOCA2016's, one at 0x100 IRQ 12, the other at 0x200 IRQ 15.
Buslogic at 0x330 IRQ 11 BIOS 0xDC000

Could someone PLEASE look at this?

We'll may be trying an SMC Ultra card if we can get our hands on one, and
see if that makes any difference. Will the SMC prove anything or should we
try some other card to rule out our hardware and definitively point the
finger at the Linux networking code? What do we have to do to satisfy the
kernel developers that it's not our hardware? What card will prove it?

I still have all the previous kernel panic messages saved so if someone
wants to see the pattern of crashes we're having, I can dig them up again.
