Subject: pch_gbe oops with vlan

Folks,

I am looking for help in debugging a pch_gbe driver oops/abort.

Kernel: version 2.6.32-220.el6.i686 (RHEL6.2)
Driver: pch_gbe version 0.91-NAPI  (source tarball we used is at https://sendfile.kontron.com/message/24tdUi6MXklnUtBLnOsumq until May 16)
NIC: 0b:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Platform Controller Hub EG20T Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:8802] (rev 02)

Configuration, with VLAN:
 eth0 (not started)
 eth0.100 = 192.168.100.1 
 eth0.200 = 192.168.200.1 
 eth0.6  = 192.168.6.1

When starting the VLAN configuration, then doing a ping test for >= 5 minutes, I get a kernel oop/abort message as shown below.  This does not happen without configuring VLAN.
Where should I look for possible causes for a transmit queue timeout like this?  

I have contacted the OKI/LAPIS driver authors, but no response so far.  I thought that this group might be able to comment from similar experiences.

Andy
