I see the same.
Very much on this one, where I workaround the problem by using polling,
it's a UP machine.

Another machine, also UP, but with two interfaces. The problem is not as
apparent as on the first machine, but it's there. This machine is not as
loaded usually (CPU wise) as the first machine. The problem is ONLY on
em1:

The problem appeared after the em updates during the last weeks in the
kernel and has not been observed before this. em is always loaded as a
module in my kernels. The problem seems to occur more often if the
machine's CPU is busy.
I have several SMP machines with the following em interfaces, which
DON'T show the problem, but they also have different chipset on the em
interface. Most of the kernels were built between Sep 7 and Sep 19.

So I can observe at least 3 interesting differences:
- the interface showing the problems shares the interrupt
- for me it happens on UP machines only
- the chips are different
What I can't do: moving the interfaces between machines, these are
onboard interfaces.
What I could do: I could try to unload the USB driver or the ichsmb
driver on the machiens, where the interrupts are shared. Anyway, the USB
is not used currently (I have it enabled to be prepared to hook up a USB
Mass Storage device, which never happend since the problem occured). The
ichsmb also is usually not queried.
Any suggestions on how I could help?
