I don't think that's the same thing. The weird thing is that both 1.4.3
and 1.5 seem to have this problem, but 1.5_ALPHA doesn't with de0. (It
does with tlp0).
I've sent in a report to Connectix, but part of the problem is that I
really don't know what this *means*. Is this an interrupt we can just
ignore? Should this interrupt be happening at all?
