16:41:09 recorder kernel: TD structure error TDindex=e

This was on a VIA EN12000 board (with VIA Velocity Gbit ethernet,
running 2.6.25.7) while doing a file transfer. The card was `down` after
that.

[...]

How can I avoid/fix/etc this situation ?

Can you apply the patch below to get some more information ?

May I assume that it does not count as a regression ?

Thanks in advance.

Will do, will look for an earliest opportinuty to boot the machine with
the patched kernel.

Can't confirm/deny.
It has 'hung' before.
