Hi. I got thousands of these: eth0: Too much work at interrupt, status=0x00000001. and then network became very slow (it stopped printing these). rmmod/modprobe 'fixed' the problem. How to reproduce? No idea. This is printed from rhine_interrupt(), status==IntrRxDone. messages: Jan 2 22:32:25 nd47 kernel: via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.2.0-2.6 June-10-2004 Written by Donald Becker Jan 2 22:32:25 nd47 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Jan 2 22:32:25 nd47 kernel: eth0: VIA Rhine III at 0x1d400, 00:40:f4:8c:ab:ae, IRQ 11.
