Hello, My U60 runs linux debian with official 2.6.25 linux kernel (I'm currently trying 2.6.25.7) and sometimes, when eth2 is stressed, eth2 hangs with NETDEV WATCHDOG : NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth2: transmit timed out eth2: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status 8601. diagnostics: net 0ccc media 8880 dma 0000003a fifo 0000 eth2: Interrupt posted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device?

I have to reboot this server to restore eth2. This adapter is a 3Com NIC (3C905). I have tried with several different 3Com adapters with the same result. I have seen this bug since 2.6.20 even on amd64 (but I'm not sure that this bug remains in amd64 kernel because I don't have any amd64 workstation to test). lspci returns : 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp.
