Hello,
I got this problem for the first time today, while I was doing anything
unusual, (even the traffic on eth1 was low), eth1 stopped working, in
the log I see :
May 11 11:37:16 [kernel] irq 16: nobody cared !
I tried ifconfig eth1 down; modprobe -r b44; modprobe b44; ifconfig eth0 up,
but the iface was not working until reboot.
Unfortunately I've lost the dmesg lines, but it contained traceback with
last line in b44_interrupt. To my non-kernel-hacker, eye,
b44c:883: return IRQ_RETVAL(handled);
seems supsicious.
The card is integrated in my HP Compaq notebook, i915/910GML chipset.
