[tulip] Transmit lockup on file transfers

[Morrell, Mike A]

I am trying to transfer a large file (1.3GB) between two machines using ftp.
The transfer starts and then locks up up after about 3 seconds. Both
machines are running V.92P of Donalds drivers on Mandrake 7.2 distros with
the transmitting machine being a fresh install for a server configuration.
Here are the error messages I get:

eth1: Too much work during an interrupt, csr5=0xe46980c0.
eth1: Restarted Rx at 2048435 / 2048435

Both NICs were working before when I had Mandrake 7.1 installed on the
server. I did use the Reiserfs though when I did the install. Maybe this has
something to do with it? I can reset the card by doing an ifdown/ifup. The
collision light on the hub is flashing a lot and it never did this before.

Here is the output from tulip-diag (eth0 is connected to cable modem, eth1
to hub).
