I found out this shows up when 900fd17dd01d2c99dfd1ec0b53a860894a2673ee is included, kernels before that seem to work fine. The problem description is in this same thread. I'm not going to repeat it here as it is valid except for the fact that my original claim that it happens with another hardware is false, please see it in here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=117758295411277&w=2 Should these delays I see be considered as evindence of mmio not working with this card/model or could there be something else wrong somewhere? ...I can just disable it using global_use_mmio parameter, which removes the problem in 2.6.20.7 (tested) but just in case somebody has more clue than I do about this, I'm willing to do more testing...
