SubjectANA-6944A/TX totaly freezes kernel 2.4.16
Hello...
I wanted to use a Adaptec 6944A/TX Quadport Ethernet Card
with a 2.4.16 kernel. (Card contains a tulip chipset)
The whole machine *complettly* freezes when 2 or more interfaces
are configured with ifconfig. When only one port is being
configured it works just fine. Only listing them with
ifconfig -a works and shows eth0-eth3.
It's also possible to ifconfig up and then down various
NICs. Only 2 or more configured in parallel lock the
system.

2.4.16 was tested with and without "Use PCI shared mem
for NIC registers".
Testes with an older 2.4.5 behave the same as 2.4.16

The same setup with a kernel 2.2.19 works and allows all
4 interfaces being configured.

I tested it on a SNENIC PRO5 (Intel 82439HX Triton II Chipset)
and on a Asus P2B Board to make sure it's not the PC (or BIOS).
Having it work with 2.2.19 also tells me it's not a HW fault.

An interesting thing is that /proc/pci shows a different and
uniq IRQ for each interface while /proc/interrupts shows
all NICs on the same IRQ (only known on 2.2 since i can't configure
them on 2.4)

If you need additional information please CC: the mail
to joker@netswarm.net because i'm not subscribed to the
ML. I usualy read the stuff later on the archive though.

Here are dmesg /proc/pci and /proc/interrupt datas.
2.2.19 (working) and 2.4.5 (same problem as 2.4.16)
