This reminds me - have you considered my one-liner for the ethernet driver? I deterministically get mangled packets without it.

Yes, we get 'em too -- and we're using that patch in our empeg-serving-music-to-rio-receivers demo currently at CES -- but it does smell slightly of bodge to me, and we suspect (from reading the sa-1100-linux mailing list) that there's a proper fix in the works in both 2.2.19 and 2.4.x.
