What's one way of testing this brokeness?  I've been trying to find some 
explanation for a bug of some sort in a cobalt RaQ2 in which the tulip 
driver (eth0) just stops dead after several minutes of use.  One of the 
notable features of the tulip driver patch needed to work on the RaQ2 
adds a "udelay(1000)" into the tulip source.  Without it, the eth0 on 
the RaQ2 is dead, so I wonder if these are related.

If they are related, then this behavior has been slowly getting worse it 
seems, as eth0 on the RaQ2 apparently has had smaller and smaller 
amounts of time needed before the interface died.  2.4.18, it took most 
of a day, by 2.4.21, it happens within seconds.
