Now i get in my syslog:
atalkd[640]: restart (1.4b2)
atalkd[640]: zip_getnetinfo for eth0
last messages repeated 2 times
atalkd[640]: config for no router
atalkd[640]: ready 0/0/0
kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out
kernel: eth0: TX timed out
papd[651]: restart (1.4b2)
afpd[653]: cygnus:AFPServer@# started on 11:34:00 (1.4b2)
that stupid eth0 keeps timing out, therefore can't get any data in or out
on the network. Stupid kernel net driver. And i can't change the network
card because it's on-board.
