Well, not really a crash but quite some nuisance, cause it's a remotely
monitored web/email server with a few virtual domains the ethernet
locked up. After an uptime of around 20 days. I'm also depending heavily
on the isdn stuff, so I don't do too much on it (imagine my feelings
every time I have to reboot the machine, a successful reboot or not,
this is the question...)

I know the 3c59x driver is under development but (at least up to now) I
though the main release, as the one being in the kernel tree, is
supposed to be stable...?

Feb 4 16:13:42 central kernel: eth0: 3Com 3c590 Vortex 10Mbps
at 0xd000, 00:a0:24:59:5a:78, IRQ 10
Feb 4 16:13:42 central kernel: Internal config register is 320010,
transceivers 0xe138.
Feb 4 16:13:42 central kernel: 8K byte-wide RAM 1:1 Rx:Tx split,
10base2 interface.
Feb 4 16:13:42 central kernel: 3c59x.c:v0.25 5/17/96
