Subject: Bringing up secondary rtl8169-based interface causes network hang/dma
 issues

Also posted at:

Hi All,

The issue I am having is when bringing up a second Ethernet interface 
that uses the rtl8169 driver, it seems to cause network issues. I lose 
all network connectivity to the machine, and I simultaneously see a DMA 
error occur for my primary IDE drive.

Two interfaces:

eth0 (rtl8168 (using rtl8169 driver) - Onboard PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet)
eth1 (rtl8169 (using rtl8169 driver) - RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet)
The chipset running the IDE drive that experiences the DMA crash is:

If you guys need any package versions just ask. Also feel free to point 
me in the direction of a better place to post this issue.

HELP! I want to be able to multihome but this is stopping me :(
