Maybe this is an issue of the e100 driver? I observed a 1-2 sec stalling behaviour for the complete system every 10 seconds or so _seemingly_ only when my ADSL connection was up. That was after I had changed the ethernet driver for a card _not_ connected to the modem from eepro100 to e100.
After a lot of fiddling around with git-bisect trying to find the erroneous patch I realized I had changed the driver when upgrading the kernel to 2.6.14. The problem also existed in later kernel versions. Going back to e100 helped.
