lock up

[Bernd Stahlbock]

Hello,

I've now compiled the 1.08a driver into my 2.0.36 RTL 1.1 Kernel.
General machine operation seems to be quite stable, but when I do a

ping 172.16.16.1 -s 5000

it's ok, a

ping 172.16.16.1 -f

is also ok. But when I do

ping 172.16.16.1 -s 5000 -f

I get this (cat /proc/kmsg):

The network will work on with simple pings like the two first, but
giving messages like 'interrupt line blocked' or 'transmit timeout'
all few moments and loosing packets. The error counter in
/proc/net/dev after this ping -s 5000 -f was 3 on the transmitter.

When I shut down after this errors, the system hangs when it tries to
shut down network.

I hope that someone can see if there's a driver or system problem.
