I have experienced the following with ne.o on a Cx686:
kernel: eth0: bogus packet size: 0, status=0x21 (repeats)
I got it when using a Linksys EtherPCILAN Card II, using the ne.o driver. I do not get it on the same system when using a 3com 3c595 (pci) using the 3c59x driver or a ne2100 (isa) compatible using the lance driver. I was running 2.0.27 at the time, loading ne.o as a module. I have since quit using the Linksys.
I have a Cx686p166 in an Acorp motherboard with a Via Apollo Chipset and 48meg, edo. I am presently running the 2.1.36 kernel with your cy2135.pch patch, along with 21-2.1.36-fix2.patch and 21-ext2-vfs.patch. I enabled all of the Cx686 enhancement features when I configured the kernel.
The only problems I had were when I enabled APM, the kernel apparently crashed when it tried to read the APM info. Note, I had not enabled APM in the bios. Also, kerneld does not appear to be working. The modules load correctly with modprobe, but although kerneld says its loaded, it does not load or unload modules. I am using modutils 2.1.34.
