Hello, I've been experiencing reboot problems lately.  Having uptimes
from 2 days up to 5 days at times now.  I didn't used to have this problem.
It did start occuring sometime after I replaced my ne2000 clone with my
3c509 network adaptor.  The kernel debugger listed getvnode as the last
function the kernel was in last time it died.  Previously it was ??vmnode
or vnode...Does anyone have a clue.  I really don't want to spend money
to get a tpt for the ne2000, but if it'll stop my crashing...


Also am getting Status:2002 on my nic from time to time.  I looked around
in the source but didn't see anything on it--probably looking in wrong
place.


Any help is appreciated.

I've seen pepole having problems w/maching rebooting running slip/ppp...
I'm not using either.

My machine configureation follows
