[realtek-bug] machine hard lockup with promiscous mode enabled

[aris]

hi,
version: 0.9.9-2.2

running on kernel 2.2.17 stock

diag: bottom of this mail

eth1: 8139too FastEthernet 0.9.9-2.2 Jeff Garzik 
<jgarzik@mandrakesoft.com>
eth1: Linux-2.2 bug reports to Jens David <dg1kjd@afthd.tu-darmstadt.de>
eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet board found at 0xc482d000, IRQ 10
eth1: Chip is 'RTL-8139A' - MAC address '00:48:54:3f:14:b0'.

i can reproduce anytime and i'll get a serial cable to try to see the
error (i compiled and run the debug version also) before it self reboot.
when i put this board to work with promiscous mode enabled and make a
stress test it totally hangs or reboot my machine.
any idea what's happening? (i'll try it on 2.4.x kernels right now)
