With sk98lin under both 2.6.12 and 2.6.17 I get the following message,
repeated countless times, and finally a hang: [this is copied from
screen on to a sheet a paper and re-typed, beware typos]:

eth0: Adapter failed
eth0: -- ERROR --
class: Hardware failure
Nr: 0x264
Msg: unexpected IRQ Status error

This happens when I do "ifconfig eth0 up". Then I get to hit the reset
button.


I'm grabbing the sources to build a 2.6.17-mm6 kernel now.
