Ernest,
It's the NIC.
I was using an Intel EtherExpress Pro (10 baseT - ISA), and got these
messages too - especially if the traffic was high. (like you said)
Actually, I suspect a driver issue - but I have no idea how to go about
re-compiling a new NIC driver for STN (I tried this with a SOHO version
of the "tulip" chipset - that needs some tweeks to work correctly - and
I could not get it to work. Maybe I need to downgrade a box to RH 5.1
or so??)
