One day hopefully this will be sorted in the BIOSes and in mainline. I keep having to patch for every release (although as thats the only patch I have to do I'm sure there are many worse off than me). I use the 3com n/w on my A7N8X Deluxe v2 BIOS 1007 so no need for nforcedeth. Best patches are at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/12/21/7 Ive applied them to 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 and give no crashes and no heat issues.
