The ATM in 8260 seems to have a huge errata list. Just quickly looking 
at those at least CPM71: CPM does not snoop MCC buffer descriptors 
sounds related, but it may be some other issue also. Do you already use 
the microcode patch provided by Freescale?

I'm confident my problem was fixed with the correct setting of the 
pipeline depth. I had trouble with everything related to cache 
coherency, not just a single communication protocol.
