Starfire issues

Hello,

        I've been having some trouble with a starfire I have in that it seems
        to drop packets every once in a while for a little bit and then start
        up again. Also getting strange kernel messages:

----

eth2: Something Wicked happened! 2049001.
eth2: Increasing Tx FIFO threshold to 336 bytes

This happens on other interfaces, not just this one. The kernel being used is stock 2.4.6-ac2. Would the patches you've posted to lkml help? If so I can give them a shot...

Thanks!

Stephen
