Subject: KS8695: possible NAPI issue

I'm using 2.6.33 kernel and I noticed such a strange behavior:

after system start I transfer one file via netcat from my development
host, after this transfer the network is not functioning i.e. no pings
possible etc.

To narrow down the problem I checked out this commit
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=451f14439847db302e5104c44458b2dbb4b1829d.
Till here the network driver is functioning as intended, but after
NAPI introduction I have this issue. With latest git-pull of "Linus'
kernel tree" I can't even ping right after the systems start.

Any Ideas? What am I missing?

Regards,
Yegor
