I didn't followed this thread from the beginning (hell, I never thought
I would have to say this on _THIS_ mailing list :) ), but my usual guess
on this "strange" side effect is once again... IRQ conflict between both
adapters?

Given a recent Xenomai version, such conflicts are detected and the
involved line is shut down. Thus no IRQs arrive anymore for both sides,
RT and Linux. Check the kernel console to confirm my assumption, there
should be a warning message.

Besides shared _hardware_ resources, there is no further conflict to be
expected.

PS: This thread made me feel like I were reading LKML - is this a good
or a bad sign...?
