Hello there,

I have witnessed several kernel oopses in a vanilla 2.6.32 kernel of different 
patch levels. The only effect of the kerneloops is that sometimes the 
throughput of the LAN NIC is extremly low (< 500kbit/s). I need some help as I 
have no idea why it is happening and where it's coming from (kernel bug? 
faulty h/w? config error?).

As I have no idea how I can trigger this oops -- it just happens after a few 
hours of running -- I'll list what I'm using the machine for: it's running 
Debian squeeze with a custom built kernel, vanilla 2.6.32.7 (.config 
attached). I use this machine as a router (two NICs), and use an USB ISDN 
device with asterisk. A WLAN AP is running over the USB wireless stick 
(rt73usb + hostapd 0.6.9), which is bridged with the LAN side of the one NIC. 
There is also a DVB-T card in there controlled by mythtv. I tried swapping the 
two PCI cards (r8169 and saa7134), guessing the problem may be IRQ related, 
but it didn't help.

I'm not experienced with the kernel programming, but I can patch and recompile 
my kernel to isolate the problem if somebody shows me the direction.

Kind regards,
Lee

P.S. Keep me CC: as I'm off-list.
