I have a stronger idea of where this bug lurks now.  I upgraded another
e1000 equipped machine, and it exhibited similar symptoms.

Affected:
 SMP Linux 2.6.20-15, 2.6.20-16 (Ubuntu)
 SMP Linux 2.6.20.7 (kernel.org)
 SMP Linux 2.6.22.1 (kernel.org)

Unaffected:
 SMP Linux 2.6.17-11 (Ubuntu)
 UMP Linux02.6.22.1 (kernel.org)

Hardware affected:
 AMD X2 3600+, 3800+, 4200+, etc (1.9-2.5Ghz range I can test) with both cores 
enabled and kernel >= 2.6.20-15 + e1000 (included the latest driver from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000 , which was 7.6.5).

Hardware unaffected
 The exact same hardware with the dual-core mode disabled in the BIOS.  I can 
easily sling around bits anywhere from 300Mbps to 600Mbps with jumbo frames, 
rock solid.


So... what's broken in SMP mode?  What broke between 2.6.17-11 and 2.6.20-15?
I don't feel like wading through kernel diffs alone.
