I'm running linux 2.0.36 with a netgear FA310TX connected to a 100baseTX hub
and a generic ne2000-compatible card connected to the outside (10baseT)
network. I've been using the tulip driver as a module to work the netgear card.
Every few days, I've been losing the console, and can only access the box
remotely. In /var/log/messages, there are blocks like this:

Jan 14 10:45:20 karma kernel: Aiee, killing interrupt handler
The disturbing thing is, I've had this problem once in 2.0.34, and a few times
in 2.0.35. I've also replaced the card with another of the same model, with no
success.
I'm running redhat 5.1, and have gotten my kernel's by RPM. Is there anything
wrong with redhat's kernel rpm's?
I disabled the netgear card a couple days ago and haven't had any problems, but
I would like it to work eventually...
Thanks for your help. :-)
