Comment 25 for bug 279102

With a vanilla 2.6.28-rc5 kernel on a amilo l1310g laptop with
ATI ixp SB400 chipset and Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
I have the same problem.

The nic would just stop working completely under heavy load, but after adding the kernel option "irqpoll" it now just
resets the connection every once in a while as reported here by others.

On a standard intrepid 2.6.27 kernel network seems fine, but the audio sometimes breaks up (stutters) after a while until a reboot. So there seems to be some interrupt conflict?
