2.6.0-test[56] pcnet32 problems

From: Danny ter Haar

Got an cyrix box with built in ethernet & 2 extra ethernet cards
as a firewall at home with a dsl line (connected to eth0)

pcnet32.c:v1.27b 01.10.2002 tsbogend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0f.0
IRQ routing conflict for 0000:00:0f.0, have irq 9, want irq 11
pcnet32: PCnet/FAST III 79C973 at 0xfca0, warning: CSR address invalid,
using instead PROM address of 00 00 e2 24 41 1d assigned IRQ 9.
eth0: registered as PCnet/FAST III 79C973
pcnet32: 1 cards_found.

Sometimes (even during low traffic) eth0 simply locks up:
In dmesg i see:
kernel: eth0: Bus master arbitration failure, status 88f3.

rmmod pcnet32 results in kernel-panic.
Only reboot works.
tried:
acpi == disabled
pci=noacpi

Another weird thing is output of ifconfig eth0:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:E2:24:41:1D
inet addr:195.64.94.48 Bcast:195.64.94.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:30345 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:38404293 (36.6 MiB) TX bytes:1298028 (1.2 MiB)
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xfca0

0 packets transmitted , all errors ans carrier faults ?
Still it works! (this could be counters that are wrong)

kernel config, lspci -v and dmesg output available at:

Any help/suggestions/hints appreciated.
