ne2k and, to a lesser extent, 3c59x do not work correctly on many x86 SMP machines because of a problem with the APIC interrupt controller.
Probable fixes include booting with the `noapic' option, running -ac kernels or applying Maciej's APIC workaround patch. There's a copy at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/apic.txt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
