We have one known kernel problem left with gcc 2.95.2 and x86 in 2.2.16pre
and its weird. You need to have the right subspecies of 3c90x card, gcc
2.95.X, a network with errors on it, and a bit of bad luck.

If your box fits that then you get ethernet hangs which go away with older
compilers. A lot of staring at asm has produced no answers but we suspect
now it might not even be gcc but a timing issue on issuing commands - perhaps
even a bug in the chip
