Could someone please explain the reason that this error would occur? I mean the root of the problem ie. what really causes it in the kernel? And then some common laymen reasons that it might be showing up on 2 of my machines that I use as routers? I have searched deja.com and found a few suggestions but nothing seemed to do any good. I get the same message on 2 machines of 3 that have had kernels 2.2.17, 2.2.18, and 2.4.1 on them - no matter what kernel I get the error. I have also tried playing musical network cards but no help there either.
