OK, just one last addition to what has nearly become my own thread...
I now am fairly certain that the problem (network stalls on multiprocessor systems) is
not BP6 or NE2K-PCI specific. I found several postings which relate to similar
problems on dissimilar hardware. Another interesting one is

Our driver is trying to allocate a DMA buffer to flash
an adapter's firmware. This can require as much as
512K ( of contiguous DMA memory ). We are using the
function __get_free_pages( GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA, order
) . The call is failing if 'order' is greater than 6.
The problem is seen on system

oh hey, this limit is only a libc limit these days. you can do this:
#define MY_FD_SETSIZE (16384)
typedef struct {
__fd_mask __fds_bits[MY_FD_SETSIZE / __NFDBITS];
} my_fd_set;
#define MY_FD_Z

Hm, the noapic option seems to help, as I'm currently beating the network to
death but it won't die... As the problem is elusive, it is hard to tell, and it
would not surprise me if the net dropped dead the moment this mail went
through, but current indication is that noapic makes the sudden net-d

Thanks for the report.

Now that 2.4 is out, it will probably be a few .x releases until 2.5
begins.
A discussion on Named Streams and Extended Attributes was put off until
2.5 earlier in the 2.4 development cycle. For compatibility with
existing, widely-deployed filesystems (e.g., NFS, XFS, BeFS, HFS, etc.),
