It froze last night, and I my reboot script got it back. I've included
it to run eepro-diag the next time it freezes.

But in my system log I got these lines:

Nov 27 01:45:33  Command 80 was not immediately accepted, 113 ticks!
Nov 27 01:46:10  Command 80 was not immediately accepted, 117 ticks!
Nov 27 01:48:37  Command 80 was not immediately accepted, 104 ticks!
Nov 27 01:55:32  eth0: IRQ 5 is physically blocked! (7048)Failing back
to low-rate polling.
Nov 27 01:55:32  Command 80 was not immediately accepted, 312 ticks!
Nov 27 01:55:32  Command 80 was not immediately accepted, 197 ticks!

.
Nov 27 01:55:42  eth0: IRQ 5 is still blocked!
