I have a FastEthernet Card with DEC 21143 in my Fujitsu Lifebook 656tx.
Although my ethernet card seems to work fine I always get a lot of TX
errors. And if I choose debug=2 I also get a lot of error messages with
demesg. What I included in this email is just the beginning - it keeps on
going on like that forever.

I got the same problem with v0.89K, v0.89L, and v0.90. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
