Mmmh. Yes. Well, just searched back through the kernel list and found your
original posting. I recently got some problems with my NE2000 card like

eth0: mismatched read page pointers 0 vs 52.
eth0: mismatched read page pointers 0 vs ff.

After that the card hangs, and I have to live without networking or
have to shutdown and turn the power off before I reboot again. Maybe
you have a similar problem, i.e. that the low level network interface
hangs under high load? Ok, I probably should stop talking about things
I hardly know anything about.

Cheers

Claus
