Hello there,

During my evaluation with some Intel Express Pro/100 cards, the following
error mesgs occurred and the eth0 interface stopped responding.  The only
cure is to stop the network, unload and reload the module, and then restart
the network as shown below.  Is this a known problem?  Your kind advise is
much appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith
P.S.  Please copy me on your reply 'cos I am not in the list.
