Andrea, 


Do you think I should  install exactly the same version 2.4.4aa3 instead
of 2.4.4.ac3 with the TCP patch ? 

What else can I try to find where my bug is ?

I have DE600 boards too but from the last stress tests I did a few days ago
it was
freezing my system but I suspect this was another story, I then switched to
3com950b
because this is a very well known board and I was suspecting it could help a
lot
to standardize my system. 

I also used DE504 with the de4x5 driver and it was again crashing my system.

I did not used the tulip driver though ( :( ) 

Again, thanks a lot for any help
