Yeah, I tired today's kernel too, I must have grabbed a stale mirror
earlier. Same results on both accounts. 

I will go into work tomorrow and try the higher rev and see what happens

I do have another machine, same motherboard running debian etch
2.6.12-2-686 (not by choice) using e1000 for the NIC. Not sure if that
helps.
