I've seen this with the tulip, epic100 and eepro100 drivers. You're seeing it with:
>3c59x.c:v0.99H 11/17/98 Donald Becker >http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html >eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xec00, 00:10:4b:d3:b0:44, IRQ 9
All of these drivers were written by Donald Becker. One or 2 weeks ago someone found a basic mistake in most of the drivers from Donald, and posted patches for the tulip driver. Someone else posted a pointer to a new eepro100 driver, which I am using now and which works fine without locking up. Hopefully Donald is following this list and will fix his drivers .. both 2.2.1X and 2.3.x really need those fixes.
