2.4.1. rebuilt here and with a floodping towards my machine causes a
hard crash where nothing works anymore.

just before it happens :

Feb 1 13:07:24 grobbebol kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Feb 1 13:07:24 grobbebol kernel: eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x3, t=21.

note that it doesn't happen when 2.2.19pre* is used. Still some work
there to do.

the used board BP6 (abit), apics enabled. non-overclocked. card is a

00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8029(AS)

IRQ:

19: 6851 7642 IO-APIC-level eth0

I assume Franks suggestions didn't get into the kernel ?
