OK. I've changed the subject line 8-)...

As I said, I tested this with both the tulip and the de4x5
drivers. It seems unlikely that the same bug should be in both
drivers. I should perhaps also mention that I've seen the same
behaviour on two different machines, so I find it had to suspect the
card itself.
Is it possible that the IRQ handler be responsible? If so, how
should I go about debugging it?

Cheers,
Trond
