tg3: tg3_stop_block timed out

[Bernd Schubert <bernd-schubert@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I have seen a few reports like this, but now broadcom seems to actively
support tg3, so I decided to send this.

It seems to be the first time that something like this happend, at least I
don't find anything in the previous logs.

This is with 2.6.16, would it be worth to try a more recent tg3 driver (e.g.
from broadcom (3.58) or backported from 2.6.17 (3.59))? 


Thanks, 
Bernd
