No, it's 2.4.20 and onward. 2.4.19 was the last 2.4 release with the old
non-napi netcore.

[stoli](0) % grep netif_receive_skb linux-2.4.19/drivers/net/tg3.*
[stoli](1) % grep netif_receive_skb linux-2.4.20/drivers/net/tg3.*
linux-2.4.20/drivers/net/tg3.c:                 netif_receive_skb(skb);

Which raises the question: Why is he seeing the exact opposite numbers
of what you'd expect with 2.4.20? Did you look at his results? He's
seeing much _higher_ interrupt load using 2.4.20 kernels.
