Well, after removing the tbusy-optimization from the 0.25 driver things
have worked very well for me (all in all 5 different 3c595 on 4
machines).
The machines have been up under severe, albeit synthetic, network abuse
for
past 24 hours. The tests was with 2.0.6.
Two card ran in 100 Mb/s mode.
Hope this is not due to the phase of the moon!
