ADDON:

Dmesg:
[...
        NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0.
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is ffffffff. (queue head)
eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is ffffffff.
eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is ffffffff.
eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is ffffffff.
eth0: Setting 100mbps half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability
ffff.
probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a
motherboard.
probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration.
