Subject: Spew from test11-pre1

No oops, but right after I installed test11-pre1, then tried to
access a Windows box as a VNC client, this message started
getting continuously dumped by syslog:
===
...

eth0 seems OK, I regularly check ifconfig after installing a new
kernel:
===
$ /sbin/ifconfig -a

Doing a Yahoo search it seems this was previously reported
eepro100 bug, which appears to have resurfaced.

It have never been finally fixed.
I'm working on a "next-generation workaround" right now.
