My network hangs every so often and the following message appears on

Has anyone experienced this message? If so is this a kernel bug or a
network configuration error?
I recently switched from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps line and this error
occurs more frequently.
Restarting the network fixes the network connection.
Hrm... that's annoying. A fix was made to the driver recently to fix a
problem with incorrect recovery on Rx MAC overflow, but I can't remember
if it made it to 2.6.11 or if it's only in 2.6.12, I'll try to figure
that out.

Ben,
do you know when 2.6.12 will make it into unstable? I'm not even
seeing a 2.6.12 kernel-tree package yet?
Or what older version of the kernel do you know of which did not have
this problem?
-Peter
with all the release candidates for 2.6.12 would it even be possible for
this to make it in?
