This patch breaks my starfire totally:

With 2.4.6 on a 100Mbit HUB (100fx-HD) it receives but seems to have problems
to send.
It worked with 2.4.6-pre5.
With 2.4.6 and your patch I get the following immediately:
kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth5: transmit timed out
kernel: eth5: Transmit timed out, status 00000000, resetting...
