hmm,.... sounds like a bit of a old problem with the minipci card...
p54_rx_frame_sent walks in the tx_queue without holding the tx_queue.lock.

However, this problem is next to impossible to trigger in the current code.
So, a crash log from a serial console would be great?

This one locked up the machine. I don't know how long it lasted as it was overnight. This time, the caps lock was not blinking, but the only recovery was to power it off.

A serial console is not possible - no hardware. In this case, netconsole is no help either as it would need to use the hardware whose driver has already failed.
