SubjectRe: TG3 network data corruption regression 2.6.24/2.6.23.4
The following patch fixes the problem for me.  Do we want to accept this
patch and call it a day or continue investigating the source of the problem?

Patch applies to 2.6.24.2, but doesn't apply to 2.6.25-rc. If everyone
agrees that this is the right solution, I will resubmit with a proper
subject line and description.
