Subject[BUG] de2104x oops in 2.5.70
Jeff,

de2104x in 2.5.70 oopses on me if I bring the device up
while the NIC (a 21041) is disconnected from my local network.
The oops text is roughly as follows:

<ifup eth0>
<approx one to two seconds later:>
eth0: timeout expired stopping DMA
kernel BUG at drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.c:927!
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 4 [#1]
<register dump not captured>
Call trace:
[c00bc728] de21041_media_timer+0x1f4/0x2e0
[c001f56c] run_timer_softirq+0xe4/0x198
[c001aa40] do_softirq+0x10c/0x110
[c0007c78] timer_interrupt+0x270/0x2a4
[c0006084] ret_from_except+0x0/0x14
Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler
In interrupt handler - not syncing

A few more data points:
- This is on 32-bit PowerPC configured for UP with PREEMPT disabled.
I'm unable to capture the oops except by manually copying what's on
the hung console. I hope the BUG location and call trace are sufficient.
- This happens regardless of whether de2104x is built-in or module.
- This does not happen if the NIC is connected at ifup time.
And if I disconnect the NIC sometime after ifup, it detects the
link down state and switches from 10baseT to AUI w/o oopsing.
- The old de4x5 driver handles ifup-while-disconnected w/o problems.
- The 2.4.21-rc7 tulip driver also survives ifup-while-disconnected.
