Hi, well we fixed our earlier UDP problems with the ultra by jumpering
the IRQ etc instead of using the software settings. But we still get
these kernel errors often and they impact greatly on performance,
sometimes transfers are as slow at 10K a second.

Sep 1 18:00:03 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x2 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:00:16 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x2 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:00:28 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x41 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:01:21 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x2 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:01:56 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are

Sep 1 18:04:12 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x2 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:06:48 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x41 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:07:23 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x41 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:07:30 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x41 imr=0x0.
Sep 1 18:09:09 beldin kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are
masked! isr=0x41 imr=0x0.

Any ideas? We are running 1.2.13 kernel
