I had the similar problem with plip at 2.4.18
and 2.4.19-pre2 seems to fix it for me (though
I have seen a comments that it doesn't work for
others).
But I had another problem with plip for years,
which was not fixed by 2.4.19-pre2:
if I do `ifdown plip0` and then `ifup plip0`,
plip no longer works and the kernel logs timeouts,
just like in 2.4.18.
To work around the problem I removed "DISABLE(dev-irq);"
from plip_close(), and it works nice since.
So, if you are already on this, could you please
look at the attached "patch" and make a real fix
(if this is not the one already)?
