I saw it just once, yesterday:
[root@doppio ~]# uname -r 2.6.24-rc5 e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <58> TDT <8f> next_to_use <8f> next_to_clean <55> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <105e973a9> next_to_watch <56> jiffies <105e97992> next_to_watch.status <1> [root@doppio ~]#
on a lenovo T60W, core2duo machine (2GHz), when using it to stress test another machine, I was using netperf TCP_STREAM ranging from 1 to 8 streams + a ping -f using various packet sizes.
I'll update this machine today to 2.6.24-rc8-git + net-2.6 and try again to reproduce.
I also applied David's patch while trying some RT experiments on another, 8 way machine used as a server, but on this machine I didn't experience the Tx Unit Hang message with or without the patch.
