Latest working kernel version: 2.6.27
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.28
Distribution: gentoo
Hardware Environment: i686, sis900 ethernet
Problem Description: i can't reach the machine anymore, since i've installed
2.6.28 vanilla. it worked in 2.6.27 with the same configuration.

Steps to reproduce:
You need a sis900 ethernet and even if you set an ip, the machine doesn't
respond anymore to the net.
I tried assigning a dynamic ip with dhcpcd eth0 and i'll post the dmesg.

It's a regression and I'm not seeing any likely-looking changes to that
driver in 2.6.28.
