arcnet/com90xx still breaks 2.1.93

Hi,

it's too bad, but arcnet with the com90xx driver is still crashing 2.1.93.

insmod arcnet
insmod com90xx irq=7 io=0x2e0

works as expected. And /var/adm/syslog tells me:

Apr 7 17:31:11 garfield kernel: arcnet.c: v3.00 97/11/09 Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@bond.net> et al.
Apr 7 17:41:11 garfield kernel: Available protocols: ARCnet RFC1201, Ethernet-Encap, ARCnet RFC1051.
Apr 7 17:41:11 garfield kernel: Don't forget to load the chipset driver.
Apr 7 17:41:19 garfield kernel: com90xx.c: v3.00 97/11/09 Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@bond.net> et al.
Apr 7 17:41:19 garfield kernel: arc0: ARCnet COM90xx: station 04h found at 2E0h, IRQ 7, ShMem D0000h (1*800h).

When I execute

ifconfig arc0 192.168.1.1 up

the kernel crashes with a kernel panic, telling me problems with
the interrupt handler (0002) (what does that 0002 mean??) and
tell me, that the problem occured in the process "swapper".

It's impossible to sync the system with the help of the magic SysRQ key,
and it's also impossible to track the details of the kernel panic.
The stack trace execced my screen :-((

Anyone to help me?

Thank you
Christoph
