that's wrong. I got them, _WHEN_ I used the 3c509 driver as module.
now the 3c509 driver is directly compiled into the kernel and the
double lock on device queue message wasn't seen anymore.

i'll take this as a hint and build/use a kernel WITHOUT ANY modules support.
perhaps the problem isn't in the networking at all :-(. this is
_really_ strange :-)

cheers,
