There appear a lot of those messages: eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping It works again after restarting network. I'm using 2.6.8-rc2 now. It was the same problem in 2.6.7, but I didn't test it with earlier kernels. And right now I got one more eth0 message: eth0: Too much work at interrupt, interrupt status = 0x00000031. eth0: Too much work at interrupt, interrupt status = 0x00000001.
