Indeed they do. Both with -10 and with -10+-20 added on my working
2.6.8-rc4-mm1 the booting process hangs somewhere while iptables is
installing my ipv6 firewall. This is reproducable, I've not tried to
install my firewall by hand after booting (call me paranoid).
Thus:
2.6.8-rc4-mm1: boots, slow network
2.6.8-rc4-mm1 + 8139too-mm-revert: boots, fast network
2.6.8-rc4-mm1 + 8139too-mm-revert + 8139too-10: doesn't boot
2.6.8-rc4-mm1 + 8139too-mm-revert + 8139too-10 + 8139too-20: doesn't boot
Good luck,
Jurriaan
