Try e1000-5.2.30.1.tar.gz at http://sf.net/projects/e1000. thanks! I can confirm that this doen indeed fix all tx hangs I have observed, the driver is behaving admirably, so I hope it gets merged into mainline soon however I get a number of log messages: floating point used in kernel (task=c0261560, pc=e11c7b64) (Note that this is ppc) Apparently no ill effects, will try to dig where it is generating float instructions...
