This caused by a buggy ethernet driver - I've got a very crude patch for it,
which I beleive should be in the latest kernels. If you want I can e-mail
you a kernel with the patch in it - it has nfs, eh and the powertec scsi
drivers in it, and not much else (not even msdosfs!) - Ahhh just remembered
- it dosn't have strongarm support (I don't have one). If you want I can
mail you the diffs and you can patch and compile your own kernel.
(technially the patch makes the driver more buggy wrt actually receiving
packets - but it dosn't hang the machine anymore!)
