After just a couple of pings on the interface, the whole system started to freeze up fairly hard. Please see http://www.hetzel.org/8169/rc2-mm2/ for a set of information on the system state this time around. The last two lines in messages.txt are:
illyria kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out illyria kernel: eth0: interrupt 0001 taken in poll
Then things go south pretty hard and fast...
I'll try the other patches on top of rc2-mm2 tonight and see if that turns out any better :)
