Hm. We check the TX status, but do we really also check the RX status? I always had the feeling that the hangs were due to RX packets not getting serviced.

Just wanted to let you know that the patch has now been stable under various loads for 8 hours. Should there indeed be a documented bug in my Yukon2 version, will the bugfix make it into 2.6.16?
