This may have something to do with this patch, introduced with 2.6.10
(see the ChangeLog-2.6.10).
It would explain why I had no problems on ~20 machines with 2.6.8.1
kernel, and I have this issue on the machines with 2.6.11.5 kernel.



[PATCH] tulip: make tulip_stop_rxtx() wait for DMA to fully stop

From: "John W. Linville" <linville@.........com>

tulip_stop_rxtx() doesn't wait for DMA to fully stop like the function
call name implies.

This was submitted through my employer -- I am not the original author
of this patch. However, I passed it by Jeff Garizk and he expressed
interest in having it upstream.
