There was another problem in 2.6.32 that I reported, namely kernel 
soft lockup
when link is synchronized at 100Mbit/sec and tg3 with 57780 goes 
down . Were
you able to reproduce it ?
    

No, but perhaps I don't understand the problem well enough.  Are you
saying that you encounter the problem when you run
'ifconfig bcm57780 down', or is it that losing link itself causes the
problem?

  

It is enough to connect the NIC to 10/100 switch and run 'ifconfig 
ethX down' to reproduce
the problem.

Did you have a chance to look into this ?

Thanks.

Felix.
