Known problem with the older drivers, try getting the latest driver from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ (look for network drivers and Vortex, I've forgotten the exact page). As for clearing the condition, you could have a cron task that watches the syslog files, and reboots the machine when the message appears. I understand that if you load the driver as a module, ifconfig eth0 down ; rmmod 3c59x ; sleep 5 ; insmod 3c59x ; ifconfig eth0 up ; route.... clears the problem. - -- | The mark of your ignorance is the depth of Scott K.
