It definitely looks like ISDN is somehow to blame.  Any chance you could 
try git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.24.git ?

That would help narrow down the problem to a very-large set of 
networking changes pending for 2.6.24.

If you can isolate it to net-2.6.24, it should be easily bisect-able 
from there, if you have the patience :)
