Problem with 2.4.22 and SMC EtherPower II 9432

Hi,

on two different machines the ethernet card works with kernel 2.2.20 but not with kernel 2.4.22 (both contain machines contain the same card).

Card:

lspci:
00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC] 83C170QF (rev 08)

cat /proc/pci:
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Ethernet controller: SMC 9432 TX (rev 8).
Fast devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10. Master Capable.
Latency=32. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=28.

      I/O at 0xb000 [0xb001].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xde800000 [0xde800000].

Kernel 2.2.20 (working):

Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong in 2.4.22?

Could you display the registers with the utility available at <URL:ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/diag/epic-diag.c> ?

I'm running more than 20 SMC9432TX and SMC9432BTX on 2.4.20 without problems. Output of one of these systems below.
