sis190 issue

[Enrico Tagliavini]

Hi guys!

With recent kernel >=2.6.27 i can't make large file transfert (via any
protocol) with my local server anymore. The file transfer begin and after some
seconds (sometimes minutes) it hangs on and i can't connect to my home server
anymore even if i reboot my pc! But internet still works (i can connect to my
home server using external ip, but not with local one).

For example with nfs, nfsiod freeze and can't be even killed!

i suspect (but not sure) that kernel kills my lan eth, or can't handle it
correctly. But if i boot windows it can connect to my home server. so i reboot
in linux but still no connection!

i'm using a Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev
02) on a asus f5sl-ap247e notebook. here some stuff (if you need more info just ask :D). Thanks for the help :D

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make large file transfer from my home server to this pc

this is the output of lspci -v
