Status     : problem is being debugged
The issue comes from a corner case and the underlying problem is that e1000 
isn't stopping tx properly. We have a fix for this pending in our tree that 
I'll push upstream for 2.6.22 to Jeff, but I don't think this should be a 
blocker and it's probably is not a regression at all, the gap has always 
been present.

on a side note, this is probably fixed easily by turning the adapters 
detect_tx_hung flag off in e1000_down, so if someone spots this reoccurring 
somewhat regularly, please contact me so we can debug it. I myself have a 
system suspend/resuming in circles for an hour now with traffic flying 
across without a single hit on it....

Adrian, you probably want to drop this issue from your list.
Thanks for the update, dropped as non-regression.
Cheers,


Auke
