Ok, I prepared two debugging patches.

Please enable SonicsSiliconBackplane Debugging in the kernel kconfig,
so I can get more detail information about your card.
Device Drivers/Sonics Silicon Backplane/SSB debugging
(Must disable "No SSB kernel messages")

Please apply and test the attached debugging patches in a row.
So apply patch 1 and test if it works again. If not, apply
patch 2 and test if it works.
Always save complete dmesg log on each test run and send it to me.

Thanks for testing.
(This time it seems we are actually getting somewhere, when
dealing with sane people. :D )

I did the tests with my kernel where only the card is on interrupt 10. dmesg 
is attached.
With the first patch applied networking does work again. I also additionally 
tried patch2 and it also does work.
