1.  pages cross 4GB bouandary ?  or overlap with each other ?
2. try to set hw->dmaw_block = atl1e_dma_req_128 
3. can you print reg15C0 content when the NIC is in normal tx/rx status ?
4. other possible may be related the diff register configuration, but it's very difficult to compare with Windows driver :(  

Thanks
