Bug: Transmit timed out

Hello, I have experienced a bug(?) in the eepro100.c code.
Problem description:
--------------------
Frequent complete network interface hang for several seconds. (Transmit
timed out)
The hang mostly occurs (almost immediately) during an active telnet
session
to another Linux Box while listening to mp3 songs using the "kmpg"
player
(mp3 server mounted over SMB or NFS, makes no difference), but the
problem
is not limited to this condition. Very low network traffic here now
(weekend).
Version 1.091 recovers from the problem much faster than 1.08 used to,
but the problem
still persists.
Following hints were tried without success:
- ifconfig promisc
- ifconfig -multicast
- modprobing with multicast_filter_limit=0
Help would be appreciated because i have a whole pile of eepro100 boards
installed.
Peter
