gianfar tries to free an irq from interrupt context

Hi,

I'm having Problems with the gianfar Ethernet. eth1 is working fine,
but eth0 is making trouble. It's making trouble in u-boot as well, so
it could as well be a hardware problem.
First of all eth0 receives some frame errors (frame: in ifconfig), but
eth1 doesn't.
eth1 performs well under a ping flood, but eth0 produces the following
WARN_ON() after some time.
I'm using linux-2.6.26 ARCH ppc on a MPC8347 with 2 different 100MB PHYs.

Is my Board just triggering this error or responsible for it?

Regards

Markus
