I use an old eepro ISA card for my ADSL, and after upgrading to 2.6, from time to time I get the following message. It keeps working afterwards, but it's like everything stops (or slows down) for about half a second when it happens. Running 2.6.7 on a P3-600 / Intel 440BX. I'm not subscribed to the list, so if you need more info, e-mail is the way to go.
