Hi, All.
I have notebook with NVIDIA based network adapter and video.
>From dmesg:
nvidia0: <GeForce Go 6100> mem 0xc2000000-0xc2ffffff,0xd0000000-0xdfffffff,0xc1000000-0xc1ffffff irq 5 at device 5.0 on pci0
nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
nvidia0: [ITHREAD]
...
nfe0: <NVIDIA nForce 430 MCP13 Networking Adapter> port 0x30b8-0x30bf mem 0xc0007000-0xc0007fff irq 5 at device 20.0 on pci0

Some time ago i've used nve(4) and nvidia-driver without problems.
But nve(4) is buggy and sometimes have watchdog timeouts.
After switching to nfe(4) i can't use x11/nvidia-driver.
After some time of running, Xorg process takes 100% of resources and
system not responds. But i can power off my system via ACPI.
After reboot i have following messages in the /var/log/messages:
Jul 20 16:26:51 btr-nb kernel: nfe0: watchdog timeout (missed Tx interrupts) -- recovering
Jul 20 16:27:39 btr-nb last message repeated 3 times
Jul 20 16:27:58 btr-nb kernel: nfe0: watchdog timeout (missed Tx interrupts) -- recovering
Jul 20 16:28:08 btr-nb kernel: acpi_button0: power button pressed
nfe(4) without x11/nvidia-driver and x11/nvidia-driver without nfe(4)
works stable.
But i want use both nfe(4) and x11/nvidia-driver...
Can somebody suggest me some tricks?
