I'm running on a 2-way x86 box, with an 82545GM. Is this by any chance a known problem?not at all.
One of my brain halves (the third one ;)) poked me and told me that it *is* a known issue. Not good. Apparently as early as kernel 2.5.50 a change was introduced that causes this. I am unsure what exactly caused it and I assume it is generic (other nic's might also suffer). The issue is documented in our standalone driver documentation. Not sure what to do with this.
