tulip : kernel BUG in tulip_up/tulip_resume

[Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>]

Hello,

I have just installed 2.6.31 (from opensuse 11.2) one a tulip-equipped
computer and I get the following error message from the kernel :

[ 2495.526390] ------------[ cut here ]------------

[ 2495.534162] ---[ end trace 609ed25c95a75fa1 ]---

This comes from a BUG_ON in napi_enable in netdevice.h.

napi_enable itself is called by tulip_up as such :

#ifdef CONFIG_TULIP_NAPI
	napi_enable(&tp->napi);
#endif

At first reading, a matching napi_disable is called in tulip_down.

Does someone know what could be wrong and have a fix or should I look myself ?

Thanks in advance

Philippe
