SMP Problem with RTL8139

[Armin Schindler]

Hi all,

  I need help with the following problem on my
Dual Pentium III 550Mhz with kernel 2.2.17 SMP
and RTL8139 as eth0 :

Sometimes the message

 eth0: RTL8139 Interrupt line blocked, status 1.

appears which doesn't seem to cause problems, but
yesterday the message

 eth0: SMP simultanous entry of an interrupt handler.

appeared just after it. From this moment the
network performance goes down to just a few bytes per
second until system restart.

Is this a known problem ?

Thanks for any hint.

Armin
