I have what I believe is a network related problem, but my network gurus here  
have been unable to track down any problems. The symptons are that whenever I  
perform some function that requires network access (nfs, ftp, ...) I get error  
messages of the following sort logged:

Spurious DMA interrupt - state = 1000000 @ 2000110
en0: transmitter not ready
spurious DMA interrupt

Spurious DMA interrupt - state = 1000000 @ 2000110
Spurious DMA interrupt - state = 1000000 @ 2000110

Network access is definitely slower than before these symptons cropped up.  
Also, ping gives unusual results as shown:

I would appreciate any help in tracking down the cause of these problems.

Thanks!
