I'm having trouble with my Lombard's ethernet.  Every once in a while
it seems to lock up.  bringing the interface down and then up fixes
the problem.

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not. (are the errors normal?)

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:E4:A0:40:6F
          inet addr:10.1.8.96  Bcast:10.1.8.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:122499 errors:16 dropped:15 overruns:0 frame:15
          TX packets:85094 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0

I'm running pump to get dhcp, so I thought it was (perhaps) the
culprit.  I'd experienced this problem with a Wallstreet and I traced
it to dhclient.  However, it's not that easy because killing pump
didn't make the problem go away.

Any thoughts?

Hmm, that's interesting.  I hadn't thought about that.  At home I have
a 10b-t network and things work fine there.

At work, I'm hooked up to a 100 b-t switch on my desk, and this is
where things die.

Maybe as a test I could force the bmac driver to use 10bt?

ttyl,

I have exactly the same problem with the Lombard. The Pismo at least _had_ the
same problem, but I did not see it for a while; maybe it has been fixed
recently.
