Question ?

[AndyTrzeciak]

Hello,
I have Linux 2.0.36 and 3x905 card installed
Loaded as a module with debug=3 options=6
And I'm getting those three lines every 1 min.
Is this telling me there is something wrong or this is normal.

Dec 15 10:09:58 pacific kernel: eth0: Media selection timer tick happened,
MII.
Dec 15 10:09:58 pacific kernel: eth0: MII transceiver has status 786d.
Dec 15 10:09:58 pacific kernel: eth0: Media selection timer finished, MII.

Thank You
Andy
