[rhn-users] /var/log/messages filled w/ errors from Netgear FA311 card...

[Alexander W Roberts]

Has anyone else run into this error using a Netgear FA311 card on RH 
8.0/9.0 or FC1?

'Mar 18 09:19:17 hinault kernel: eth0: PCI error 0x800000'

My system is an old AMD K6-2 whitebox. From what I've seen on various 
lists and forums, these particular cards seems to have problems. The card 
was detected properly and it install the natsemi driver and it works, but 
it fills the log w/ errors and I believe it affects performance of the 
box.

Is there any solution for this or is the proper solution to pull out the 
POS Netgear card and install a reliable 3Com or something like that?

TIA,
