It seems that whatever is causing the bug i'm seeing was a change that involved the network driver/interrupt subsystem and not actually the 8139too driver, this was done at around 2.6.3-2.6.4. A NAPI patch that was introduced at that time basically reverted the interrupt function and removed the poll functions from the driver (via not enabling napi in Kconfig). I have patched 2.6.12.1 with the NAPI patch and it works. Now i just have a problem with messages about "Badness in __kfree_skb at net/core/skbuff.c:290" coming from the changes i made in the 8139too driver flooding my logs. (very bad but also helpful)
That narrows it down, but i was unable to clean up the kfree errors. - 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/
