Yes, but you need to cooperate, or else it might take more time than
necessary.

Asking questions like that on lkml is not going to help very much.

So, once again, we kindly ask you try a recent kernel and post
register dump and some additional information when transmit timeouts
happen.

The 'latest kernel' is either linux-3.5.rc1, or one of David Miller
tree :

or
