I have a script in place now under cron on the problem machine, who knows it
might shed some light on the problem. Runs every 5 minutes.
As soon as a TxUnder is detected the contents of /proc/net/z8530drv is
mailed to me, if the interface dies there is the other script which will
restart the interface, then with the help of timestamps and information in a
logfile from the script, i should be able to see what went on.
