Whilst using an SMC Ultra 16 ethernet card (ISA) with 2.1.42, on a dual P-166MMX box, I see messages such as this if I run "top" with a 0 second delay between updates in an xterm over the network:
Jul 21 02:26:39 linux kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are masked! i sr=0x1 imr=0x0.
The SMC driver has been patched (with the "synchronise_irq()" added), but I was wondering if there are other problems and have they been fixed ? Interestingly, when using a 3Com 3c900 PCI network card, that message doesn't seem to appear (at all ?).
Is this a useful clue for anyone ?
Darren
