For some reason the drivers from Becker's collection have recently been quite certain to zap into "re-entering interrupt handler" behaviour. This one is no exception :-(
Some change in kernel around 2.1.110 (+- a few) has caused this behaviour, but what ??
I have three network interfaces; on-board DC21143, 3c900, and 3c905 cards.
I have an Alpha system where all different interrupt sources have separate IRQs (my highest in-use IRQ number is 44), so there is no IRQ-share problems, or such.
