Since it implies a really moderate amount of data, can you put a complete
tcpdump/tethereal log somewhere (+ send a few ping on the misbehaving
interface before and after the test) ?
Just to be sure: it is a soft lock. The application hangs but the system
is still responsive/usable. However it is impossible to send/receive any
data through the sis190 interface, even with a different application.
-> is the description right ?

At least for the K8SMX, my Mail/linux/support/sis190 mailbox disagrees.
People have the bad habit of sending private mail _without_ Ccing netdev
though.

You can control the verbosity level of the driver with the msglvl option
of 'ethtool' and/or the debug option of the module when it is modprobed.

1 - Please send your current .config and a complete dmesg.
2 - Add 'ifconfig' and '/proc/interrupts' output after the devices are
loaded and you have issued a few pings.
3 - Same thing as 2) when the transfer is hung.
4 - Don't filter lspci nor lsmod output (yep, I am a control freak).
5 - Please add the output of an 'ethtool eth1' to the mix.

PREEMPT makes me nervous. I am ok to try and debug any issue which could
be related to it but I'd prefer that the whole system is made usable
with a no-PREEMPT config first (SMP is fine though). Please send the
updated .config as well.
If the files are big and/or you do not have a permanent web repository,
you can open a PR at http://bugzilla.kernel.org and add me in the Cc: list.
