I think that's because the latest driver version wants to wait for
the ucode download, and e100_exec_cb_wait before allocating any
control blocks.

static inline int e100_exec_cb_wait(struct nic *nic, struct sk_buff *skb,
        void (*cb_prepare)(struct nic *, struct cb *, struct sk_buff *))
{
        int err = 0, counter = 50;
        struct cb *cb = nic->cb_to_clean;

        if ((err = e100_exec_cb(nic, NULL, e100_setup_ucode)))
                DPRINTK(PROBE,ERR, "ucode cmd failed with error %d\n", err);
	/* NOTE: the oops shows that e100_exec_cb fails with ENOMEM,
  	 * which also means there are no cbs */

	/* ... other stuff...
	 * and then we die here because cb is NULL: */
        while (!(cb->status & cpu_to_le16(cb_complete))) {
                msleep(10);
                if (!--counter) break;
        }

I'm not sure what the right fix would be. e100_resume would probably
have to call e100_alloc_cbs early on, while e100_up should avoid
calling it a second time if nic->cbs_avail != 0. A tentative patch
for testing is attached.
