Hi everyone !

I seem to have a problem with the intel drivers for the eepro...
Now running is SUSE7.0 with the original 2.2.16.Kernel.
Installing the driver was no problem, but after running ntop (which
starts a http Server on port 300 AND starts sniffing) I got this error
message :

and after this the network locks up.

What can I do about this ?

TIA
