for the CPU and toolchain I'm using.

What's one way of testing this brokeness? I've been trying to find some
explanation for a bug of some sort in a cobalt RaQ2 in which the tulip
driver (eth0) just stops dead after several minutes of use. One of the
notable features of the tulip driver patch needed to work on the RaQ2
adds a "udelay(1000)" into the tulip source. Without it, the eth0 on
the RaQ2 is dead, so I wonder if these are related.
If they are related, then this behavior has been slowly getting worse it
seems, as eth0 on the RaQ2 apparently has had smaller and smaller
amounts of time needed before the interface died. 2.4.18, it took most
of a day, by 2.4.21, it happens within seconds.
