  Interesting, I got transmitter problems too on rpmfind.net and it's
a K6-2 also ... While I never got those on a bunch of others machines
here running Pentiums or PII with the exact same card (and definitely
less load too !). Basically all our PC machines here (W3C/MIT) use
EEPro100 and a fair amount of them are running Linux.
