Oh, well sure. Now that somebody's asking, I can't reproduce it.

But here's some snippets from /var/log/messages from Tuesday:

Mar 23 16:17:26 slc-sunny kernel: tr0: ISA P&P Auto 16/4 Adapter found
Mar 23 16:17:26 slc-sunny kernel: tr0: using irq 10, PIOaddr a20, 8K shared

Mar 23 16:38:49 slc-sunny last message repeated 13 times
Mar 23 16:39:49 slc-sunny last message repeated 12 times

...

And this is pretty much it until I either reboot or down the adapter
interface.

But I recompiled last night and today I seem to be stable... huh.

Can you tell me a little about how your adapter is configured? The tr0 messages from syslog would be fine for a start.
