Subject: Crash in et131x

Hi, 

I'm using an ExpressCard ethernet adapter, using the et131x (staging)
driver. The system stops responding about 15 min after I connect the NIC. It
crashes even when I don't transfer any data, but it doesn't crash when it's
not connected to a switch. There is no debug information on the screen. 

I'm using 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64, which is a re-named 3.0 kernel (x86_64 bit
system). I also tried to build the et131x module from source using 3.1-rc6,
with the same result. The NIC is a no-name ExpressCard, here is the output
of lspci -v:

Cheers,

PS: If you know a gigabit ethernet expresscard that definitely works with
Linux and is available in Europe, I'd be happy to know.
