As David and me are using SMP systems when it's crashing, should I give a
non-SMP kernel a try, to see if it's some kind of race conditon?

Thank you for the hint, Krzysztof!

But this switch doesn't help, the problem for the crash is in my case the rx
side.
I can send big files over the card, as soon as I start receiving the box
crashes with the oopses you can find in former postings.

Hi Stephen,

the patch doesn't help.
As soon as the card is receiving lots of data, the box crashes after some
seconds.
Testing these patches is very tricky for me, as it is a production system at
a remote location crashing on every test.

It's a D-Link card, ID 4C00 (530T), SysKonnect's driver is working fine.
