It does it even on 2.4.20 and using the 8139cp. Heres lspci -vvv, starting
to wonder if this card is special/odd/unsupported or if its just this
hardware not being happy.

This is bug report is somewhat confusing, are you using r8169.c 
(CONFIG_R8169)?

I have tried the r8169 driver on 2.4.22 and 2.6.0-test9, and r8139cp on
2.4.20. On 2.4.22, it printed "too much work at interrupt" forever after
3-60 seconds of connection to a lan. I commented the printk out, that didnt
help though. The behaviour is exactly the same on 2.6.0-test9 and 2.4.20, a
few seconds after "ifconfig eth1 up" the machine hangs, though on 2.4.20
atleast there was no printk message seen. ifconfig shows it does receive and
send a few packets before it hangs, atleast on 2.4.22. The 8169 cards have
been confirmed to be working, but not on this particular motherboard though.

Let's stick to r8169 for now, can you send a dmesg from test9 also throw 
in /proc/interrupts.

The cnet page on the product (http://www.cnet.com.tw/product/prog-2000s.htm)
states it requires PCI 2.2, the motherboard was only 2.1. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
