please shared that code then.
I've had a look and e1000 is definitely buggy.
The problem is that you're calling netif_poll_enable on startup.
This is *wrong*.
netif_poll_enable can only be called if you've previously called
netif_poll_disable. Otherwise a poll might already be in action
and you may get a crash like this.
So perhaps you should divide e1000_up into two sections, one that
is called on both start and restart and another which is only
called on restart (i.e., after e1000_down).
OK, that would explain the recent frenzy of reports in this matter. That code
was only recently merged. I will dig into this and get a patch out as soon as I
can so you can test this.
Thanks Herbert.
