I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem I'm having.  On a Linux 
box, I'm getting the following SYSLOG error:

	Kernel: eth0: Infinte loop in interupt, Status FFFF

After this, all communications to the ethernet card stop until I reboot
the machine.  One person mentioned that it could be related to the IP
bridging.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Details include: 
   Hardware: 486/i66 clone (Chaintech MB), 256k cache, 8MB RAM, 
	Cirrus Login 5428 VLB video card, Winbond-based EIDE VLB 
	controller, Aztec sound card (SBP clone), 3Com 3C509B ethernet 
	card (coax), 3 IDE HDs, 1 Panasonic CD-ROM (SBP interface), and 
	one 3.5" floppy drive.
   Software: Linux kernel v2.0.20 compiled via GCC v2.6.3 (with the
        following kernel options: 
	"IP forwaring", "IP Firewall", "IP masqrading" and the rest
	of the kernel is standard.  I'm also running Diald (dynamic
	PPP dialer).  I've seen this same error with v1.3.x kernels
        without the IP Masq but with the IP forwarding still on) 

Please send replied to dranch@ecst.csuchico.edu and I will re-post my
results.  Thanks!
