Package: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-sparc64
Version: 2.6.24+13~etchnhalf.1

For some time, even since 2.6.18 we have had problems with the sungem
NIC driver on our Sun Netra T1 AC200[1] where the machine is prone to
locking up.

Then recently this month on the LKML someone posted[2] that they too
were having problems and submitted a fix.

It would probably be worth backport this patch to the lenny 2.6.26
kernel before general release; the patch is trivial and David Miller
seems happy with it too. It would save a lot of pain for some sparc64
users out there.

Cheers
