Could you run "top" command and print out its information?
"cat /proc/stat" && "cat /proc/interrupts" information are also
appreciated.
Sure. Info below.

When starting the netcat test, activity on the ethernet ceases after only
a few seconds. After stopping the dd/nc on the host, I cannot ping the
host from the target or vice versa and the rs-232 console running on the
target does not respond to every key press (usually every second key
press).
I instrumented some of the raw packet handling in the network stack to
attempt to glean a little more info about ping. Running ping from target
to host shows:
~ # ping 192.168.0.2
PING 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2): 56 data bytes

/mnt/nht/linux-2.6.29/arch/m68k/coldfire/signal.c:804 ERESTART
Other tests which induce similar problems in the network stack include
using wget to pull a large file onto the target.
I can also force netif_rx() to eventually constantly return 1 (pkt
dropped) by using a flood ping at high frequency (see previous post). This
is a different scenario that netcat/wget but possible related to same
cause.
