try vanilla and if that by some crazy chance works, then it'll be
fairly easy to see what change did it since mm has a nice Changelog.
2.6.11 works fine here so if you're having problems with it I'd say
we're experiencing two different bugs.

It seems that whatever is causing the bug i'm seeing was a change that
involved the network driver/interrupt subsystem and not actually the
8139too driver, this was done at around 2.6.3-2.6.4. A NAPI patch that
was introduced at that time basically reverted the interrupt function
and removed the poll functions from the driver (via not enabling napi in
Kconfig). I have patched 2.6.12.1 with the NAPI patch and it works.
Now i just have a problem with messages about "Badness in __kfree_skb
at net/core/skbuff.c:290" coming from the changes i made in the 8139too
driver flooding my logs. (very bad but also helpful)
That narrows it down, but i was unable to clean up the kfree errors.
