I just did a git pull of Linus' kernel. It seems to be mainly network
changes... and I get the following oops. Anybody else seeing this?

I really don't have time to look at the problem right now, maybe
tonight.

If I had a penny for every driver with broken TX queue handling...

Please try this patch, thanks:
