Too much work at interrupt

[Glenn]

No problems here with samba and netatalk on the same machine.
I've been running both netatalk (TCPIP only) and samba for a few months.
Currently RedHat 5.2 and the eepro100 driver v1.05 on a custom kernel
without Appletalk DDP support.  My /etc/conf.modules looks like:
  alias eth0 eepro100
  options eepro100 multicast_filter_limit=3
The eepro100 v1.05 driver has been very stable for me with these settings.
