Unfortunately I spoke too soon.. :-(
The driver no longer appears to fail under load but still fails randomly
with relatively light load:

The driver version that I am using is 1.6.1 with the tx pause bug fix
manually applied. This is compiled against 2.6.17.13 stock.
This fault (since releasing this version into production) has now occured in
3 sites since upgrading them yesterday. The previous version of kernel that
was being used was 2.6.12 (based on the old sk98lin driver) which didn't
manifest any of these problems.
If there's anything I can do to help isolate this issue please let me know.

Stephen,
After some serious testing, this patch seems to fix the lockup issue
completely. I manually applied these changes against the 2.6.17.13
release.
Any more problems?
