Hello,

today, I was debugging a kernel crash on a board with a MPC5200B using
2.6.26-rc9. I found the following code in drivers/net/fec_mpc52xx.c:

<snip>

I assume the proper thing to do is to set a flag in the ISR and handle
the soft reset later in some other context. Having never dealt with the
network core and its drivers so far, I am not sure which place would be
the right one to perform the soft reset. To not make things worse, I
hope people with more insight to network stuff can deliver a suitable
solution to this problem.

Thanks for the bug report.  I'll take a look.
