too many messages

[Harald Koenig]

Hi,

today I've started my PC with unpluged ethernet cable using a 21041 (DE-Link DE-530CT) card
using linux 2.2.9 with tulip.c:v0.90 and got a kernel syslog message every 5 seconds:

	Jun  6 16:28:42 turtle kernel: eth0: 21041 transmit timed out, status fc360000, CSR12 000020c4, CSR13 ffffef09, CSR14 fffff7fd, resetting...
	Jun  6 16:28:47 turtle kernel: eth0: 21041 transmit timed out, status fc360000, CSR12 000010c4, CSR13 ffffef09, CSR14 fffff7fd, resetting...
	Jun  6 16:28:52 turtle kernel: eth0: 21041 transmit timed out, status fc360000, CSR12 000000c6, CSR13 ffffef05, CSR14 ffffff3f, resetting...

giving 400+ kBytes syslog text in ~4 hours because values for CSR12-14 
change over and over again, so there no `last message repeated xxx times'

the frequency for such messages really should be lowered/limited (at least 
after some initial period), or don't show CSR1x values by default.
