Bill Paul is right when he says ifconfiging > down and then up fixes the hang. To work around the problem we changed > max_interrupt_work from 20 to 200 and I don't think they've seen any > hangs since. (You can find this in the .c file for the driver). >From the source code, max_interrupt_work is a insmod-settable variable since 3/8/97. I've never tried it admittedly, but will be shortly.
