I'm on 2.4.24 from kernel.org right now.  I was using the Broadcom driver
bcm5700 for a time, but reading through various lists, the consensus
seemed to be that tg3 was the better choice.  At the time I upgraded my
kernel, the bcm5700 driver wasn't patched against 2.4.24 yet.  The latest
7.1.22, released 2.3.2004 is up to 2.4.24.

Meanwhile, I've purchased a handful of Intel PRO/1000 MT adapters which
I'm going to try.  If I have the same problem with a completely different
adapter, that should rule that out.

I now also have
define(`confMAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN',`100')dnl

Now wait...
