Cannot boot any 2.4.0-test1 kernels with epic network driver enabled.

Boot 2.4.0-test1-ac5 with epic100 disabled then
modprobe epic100 results in

Sytem is still ok.
Then
Ifconfig ip-addr
approx 10 seconds later system freezes solid - no messages, cannot break

reboot.

Has been working up to 2.3.99-pre6 at least.
