The 2.4.16 kernel finally makes my clients happy with memory
management. The systems that froz up is a Dell of some sort or other
with two 1Ghz Pentium IIIs and 4G of memory. But, now I seems to be
having ethernet problems. With and eepro100 card:

Bus 0, device 4, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 8).
IRQ 16.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=56.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfeb02000 [0xfeb02fff].
I/O at 0xfcc0 [0xfcff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfe900000 [0xfe9fffff].

loaded as a module, being used heavily, the system froze with nothing
on the console when I saw it. Normal log messages until:

Nov 28 22:03:31 ps1 kernel: eth0: can't fill rx buffer (force 0)!

Then me hitting the reset key before 10am. I'm going to start digging
through the code (guess it will be more of a learning experience for
me rather then actually being able to help code). So any suggestions
will be helpful.
