What are you supposed to do though if you dont have that bios option.
And if the bios wasn't changed between kernel version upgrades, what is
the PCI irq subsystem doing now that requires such a change? And what
makes it possible to remove the problem with reverting just the 8139too
driver ... There is a quirk here, but the fix should be in the kernel,
since not all bios' allow you to make the fix yourself.

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).
Ummm. I was involved in this. Here is the 'final' post after Mr Hirofumi
found the cause of my issues:

But I looked at what he said and found the real problem on my system (after
all that):
