Maybe this is an issue of the e100 driver?

I observed a 1-2 sec stalling behaviour for the complete system every
10 seconds or so _seemingly_ only when my ADSL connection was up. That
was after I had changed the ethernet driver for a card _not_ connected
to the modem from eepro100 to e100.

After a lot of fiddling around with git-bisect trying to find the
erroneous patch I realized I had changed the driver when upgrading the
kernel to 2.6.14. The problem also existed in later kernel versions.
Going back to e100 helped.

Cheers
Arnold
