Looks like it sort of works - but now I'm stuck at the very same point that got me to playing tricks with shared interrupts in the first place: the interrupt watchdog kicks in and disables the eip_interrupt handler. The good news: sharing the timer interrupt with other devices (USB function on NetUSBee) is trival. And the EtherNEC still functions even after its interrupts have been disabled - how that works is a bit of a mystery to me, but who am I to argue with serendipity? Latency mushrooms to 50ms, and data rate drops from 70k/sec to 20k/sec but it's still alive. Geert - can we do anything other than using noirqdebug = 1 to ensure this doesn't impact on network performance?
