I'm no good at hardware, but I guess this log could be not enough. So, if nobody will find something more sensible, maybe you can try some of these suggestions: - you've written it was OK with 2.6.20; it would be interesting to check if there were any changes in config (beside new options) or even retry 2.6.20 with "current" config after make oldconfig; - during such problems it's better to try to turn off as much unnecessary options/drivers as possible to find if it's really about network driver; e.g.: no SMP, tv cards, acpi - only basic, without options etc.; - if possible try it with newer kernel e.g. 2.6.22-rc5; - if possible try it with another, fresh distro (e.g. some live CD/DVD/USB bootable); - there was a lockdep warning from tvtime/bttv; - try to get some more debugging (help: modinfo ne2k-pci).
