    It's not "last message repeatead XXX times", it's :
    ...
    Jan 30 00:01:18 XXX kernel: NET: 8298 messages suppressed.
    Jan 30 00:01:24 XXX kernel: NET: 2929 messages suppressed.
    Jan 30 00:01:38 XXX kernel: NET: 1225 messages suppressed.
    Jan 30 00:01:43 XXX kernel: NET: 4397 messages suppressed.
    Jan 30 00:01:48 XXX kernel: NET: 2342 messages suppressed.
    ...
    (ad nauseam)

    This suppression of thousands of lines was described as a DOS-protection
    in the docs I read.

    With my patch, the test becomes (eeprom[3] & 0x03), which is not null
    for every possible non-null value of the two lower bits :

    bit1 bit0 [bit1,bit0]&[1,1]
    0 0 00
    0 1 01
    1 0 10
    1 1 11

    Whereas the other test is more restrictive, because it excludes the "11"
    from the results.
    The old cards still get the workaround enabled this this wider test.

    To the contrary, it seems to do a lot of good, because the NET subsystem
    does not send any more panic messages to the kernel, and the cluster has
    not meltdown again so far.

    Sorry, I can't, as they were suppressed (as you can see in the example
    I copy-pasted before in this mail), and now I don't get any other one.

    Ok, if you insist.
