Hello all

I just upgraded to a custom compiled 2.6.18 kernel on my debian etch box, and 
my network card uses the tg3 driver loaded as a module.

However when I am booted up into 2.6.18 and try to connect to any p2p network 
via BitTorrent, KTorrent, etc., it just hang. 

dmesg output:

tg3: eth0: Link is down.
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.

lspci -v output:

09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit 
Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 01cf

I also tried turning off tso with no luck so far.

Do you have any idea what happened to the tg3 driver in 2.6.18 that caused 
this issue and what I could do to fix this issue.


Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
