skge killing off snd_via686 interrupts on Fedora Core 5

[Sitsofe Wheler <sitsofe@yahoo.com>]

We have a few machines which have been upgraded to to D-Link System Inc
DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet adaptors. The unfortunate news is that shortly
after this was done people found that programs were either going
into the D state or hanging while trying to access the soundcard using
ALSA. Looking in the logs turned up this message:

Disabling IRQ #11

This has also been reported in the Red Hat bugzilla over here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192980
on a 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel. The problem is highly reproducible and
unloading/reloading the snd_via686 module temporarily fixes the problem
until the next big burst of network traffic.
