eepro and ipaliases problems

[Peter Arien]

Hello

adapter: Intel 82557 EtherExpressPro100B
kernel: Linux version 2.2.13 
eepro module: eepro100.c:v1.09l 8/7/99
eepro module config: eepro100 debug=1 options=48  (48 meaning Full-Duplex +
100mbps-only)
The switch is also configured 100Mbs/full-duplex (no auto-config).

I have 13 ipaliases defined.
Everything worked OK up to 10 ipaliases. The minute I added
aliases 11 and 12 (and now 13) the network interface started 
doing this:

Any idea where things went wrong? Is 13 ipaliases too much for 1 adapter?
Or is it the 100mbs/full-duplex/ipaliases combination?

Thanks.
