It looks like the machine had "issues". After a bit of fiddling around I've persuaded the problem to go away both with and without the patch. It doesn't look like it was caused by the MMIO being reordered unless this is a BIOS option that I've now turned off. Thanks for your help anyway. -- Mike Crowe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
