           Summary: vanilla kernel 2.6.25.4 + TLAN NIC driver oops or so...
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.25.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: jgarzik at pobox.com
        ReportedBy: wizard580 at gmail.com


Latest working kernel version: 2.6.25.4
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.25.4
Distribution: debian sid
Hardware Environment: Compaq Deskpro (some old comp)
Software Environment: latest updates

Problem Description: 
after some time of normal work I lost connect to my router. no ping, no ssh.
nothing. I come to router, switched on monitor and see infinetely looping
messages about some error like this: TLAN: Could't allocate memory for... and
some memory dumps. It's quickly scrolling so exact error message I can't read.
On keyboard "caps Lock" and "scroll lock" are blinking...

Alt+Ctrl+Del don't reboot system. So I reset it and all run fine again... I
don't know for how long it will...

There is one vlan on tlan interface. If it's help...

As I remember, on 2.6.25.1 there was no errors for much more time (maybe it's
my luck). So I think may be something changed between 2.6.25.1 and 2.6.25.4
that break memory allocations for that driver or so...
