Hi Fedor >@2003.09.08_18:43:25_+0200
Not sure if you've stumbled onto the same bug as me.
My server have 2 Netgear cards and I'm using the National Semiconductor dp8381x driver included with 2.4.23-pre3.
Also, my system doesn't lock up after `ifconfig lo down', ifconfig just hangs and becomes unkillable and I can't reboot the machine, use ifconfig anymore, etc.
