Actually, I'm just trying with redboot, no apps yet.
But are you saying "No, it use interrupts" or "No, it use polling but should
work anyway" 
Cause i've seen the net_io_isr function and was wondering if it was
connected to an interrupt? (Then maybe the interrupt from the Integrator PCI
bus is not handled correctly )

No, I just have a hub with the 2 machines.
