Installing solo6x10 v2.4.0 appears to be causing some pretty serious kernel timing issues on my BC box. Within a minute of loading the module, the NIC transmit queue times out, and ohci1394 starts throwing errors. During this time, the NIC continuously bounces link, making the machine unreachable most of the time.

I was able to reproduce the issue on both 2.6.32-33 and 6.2.32-37 (current). Reverting to solo6x10 2.3.7-1 corrects the issue in both kernel versions.

Kernel log is available at http://pastebin.com/xWDQKG8v
The log includes 4 boots:
13:20:16 - 13:29:56: 2.6.32-33 on 2.4.0
13:31:17 - 13:51:52: 2.6.32-33 on 2.3.7
13:52:19 - 14:46:26: 2.6.32-37 on 2.4.0 (module was initially not loaded at boot, was loaded at 13:59:35)
14:48:90 - 14:49:11: 2.6.32-37 on 2.3.7
