Subject: appearing again: kernel: eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq

It seems that this problem with NVidia's nic comes up more and more...
>From time to time we get this in the log:

Jan 27 14:43:12 duvel kernel: eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.

We algo get

Jan 27 11:32:43 duvel kernel: KERNEL: assertion ((int)tcp_packets_in_flight(tp) >= 0) failed at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c (1274)

But at different moments, as shown above. Are they related? What's the
meaning of the "assertion failed" one?

The messages are more likely to appear when traffic is high
(>500Mb/s). This is with 2.6.22.16.

Any suggestions?
