If now, why? Is there some religious reasons?  ;) 

Elsewhere the answer is: Promise haven't provided the needed information 
yet.

I have the info (NDA, alas) but not the time, ATM.

Hi Jeff,

 How have you progressed on this?

 I'm seeing a problem on x86_64 + 2.6.5 (vanilla, -mm and -gentoo) with the
MSI K8T Neo when pushing the onboard Realtek R8169 (just at 100 FDX) and 
dumping it to the SATA disks (Tested with EVM2 DM raid0, but also seen with
a straight "ping -f -s 1024" and dd of=/dev/promisesata if=/dev/viaPATA)

The interesting things are:
 I don't have troubles while pushing the ethernet and the Via PATA  and or the
Via SATA drives.
 I don't see the hangs when I move data between the Via [SP]ATA and the Promise
SATA while the network is "idle"
 The Promise SATA, Via SATA and Realtek GigEther all uses the same IRQ line.

Any specific ideas to try out??
