I'm experiencing some strangeness with a new system using the Intel  
EtherExpress 10/100B...ater some variable length of uptime the machine 'drops  
off the net', and will not respond to pings, etc...logging into the console  
and doing a 'ifconfig fxp0 down' followed by an 'up' seems to restore  
things...The Machine is a P-Pro166 (IBM 704), and is pretty much a generic  
load of 2.1.5R...here's the dmesg output:
