Currently I have no physical access to the system and eth2 is not connected to 
our switch. I will connect it and run a test as soon as possible (sometime 
this week). However, I don't think I can easily reproduce it even with eth1. 
Its the first time I noticed those error messages in seven months. However, 
we are experiencing random crashes of the system and maybe thats the cause of 
it, who knows. The system is running its root file system over nfs, so a 
network failure will lockup the entire system.

Thanks,
