Interrupted while interrupts are masked!

Hello everybody,

I'm getting these messages in my logfiles:

Oct 27 00:18:23 planetzork kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are masked! isr=0x0 imr=0x0.
Oct 27 00:23:00 planetzork kernel: eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are masked! isr=0x2 imr=0x0.

I'm using a LanPro isa ne2k-clone. Is this a known problem? Here are some
more infos:

I'm having not that much traffic on my network because there are only
two machines on it. One server and one linux client used as x-terminal.

If you need more infos to debug this just let me know. If somebody wants
me to test some patches or to track down the bugs I'd like to help as much
as I can.

Regards,

Jogi

Whoops, the machine is running 2.1.126-pre2-ac2 smp. Although the problem
exists with previous kernels too.

Well, yeah ... I suppose there's no point in getting greedy, is there?
