Tigran, Alan,
I've attached two patches for 2.2.15 (made against 2.2.2.15pre16).
The first prevents the RealTek 8139 NIC from wedging after a receive FIFO
overflow. There maybe a better work around for this, but what I've got works
here.
The second is not a high priority patch. In ide-pci.c/ide_match_hwif(), the
code assumes that MAX_HWIFS is at least two. For those of us trying to build
small kernels, this isn't always true.

One issue that you did not mention and I believe is a show-stopper is the
malfunctioning
of 8139too driver. I have it easily reproduced here on 100M hub. I have a
suggestion from
Mark Hemment to try if it is a RxFIFO overflow issue (then insert a reset in
appropriate
place) which I still haven't found a minute to try and confirm/disprove.
Regards,
Tigran
