only the interface eth1 hang on output, the rest of system works fine.
I compiled with no-PREEMPT, but the situation is worse, the interface
hang during the connection to the ftp server. From the tethereal log  
I see communication from the laptop 192.168.1.252 to the ASUS .2 but no more 
in the reverse direction. Only the first ping sessions have reply, after 
the hang also ping have no reply and nmap see no more open ports.

Nice, so I have some hopes ;-)

Linux version 2.6.15 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 
4.0.2-8)) #8 Sat Jan 7 19:40:08 CET 2006

I note now that eth1 shares the IRQ5 with other drivers while
eth0 is alone

 5:        392          XT-PIC  ohci_hcd:usb2, ohci_hcd:usb4, ohci1394, eth1
10:      21238          XT-PIC  eth0
 
could be a reason for the hang ?
