The error lays in the b44_poll method. It seems that the read suddenly
gets a ERROR, and then it restarts the network card.
846 static int b44_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
847 {
848 struct b44 *bp = container_of(napi, struct b44, napi);
849 int work_done;
850
851 spin_lock_irq(&bp->lock);
852
853 if (bp->istat & (ISTAT_TX | ISTAT_TO)) {
854 /* spin_lock(&bp->tx_lock); */
855 b44_tx(bp);
856 /* spin_unlock(&bp->tx_lock); */
857 }
858 spin_unlock_irq(&bp->lock);
859
860 work_done = 0;
861 if (bp->istat & ISTAT_RX)
862 work_done += b44_rx(bp, budget);
863
864 if (bp->istat & ISTAT_ERRORS) {
865 unsigned long flags;
866
867 spin_lock_irqsave(&bp->lock, flags);
868 b44_halt(bp);
869 b44_init_rings(bp);
870 b44_init_hw(bp, B44_FULL_RESET_SKIP_PHY);
871 netif_wake_queue(bp->dev);
872 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&bp->lock, flags);
873 work_done = 0;
874 }
875
876 if (work_done < budget) {
877 napi_complete(napi);
878 b44_enable_ints(bp);
879 }
880
881 return work_done;
882 }
it gets into 864
