Mmmh. Yes. Well, just searched back through the kernel list and found your original posting. I recently got some problems with my NE2000 card like
eth0: mismatched read page pointers 0 vs 52. eth0: mismatched read page pointers 0 vs ff.
After that the card hangs, and I have to live without networking or have to shutdown and turn the power off before I reboot again. Maybe you have a similar problem, i.e. that the low level network interface hangs under high load? Ok, I probably should stop talking about things I hardly know anything about.
Cheers
Claus
