I'm running a machine with a kernel based on the current CVS tree
(2.1.89 - March 18). The machine is acting as a gateway between 2
networks. On one network I have 2 machines each of which is sending
data to 1 machine on the other network (by TCP) as fast as they can
send.

In doing so the kernel is spitting out the following message about
once per second:

kernel: eth0: Bus master arbitration failure, status 88f2.

The ethernet card involved is an AT1700(?) - using the lance driver.
There are 3 such cards in this machine.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who would know what these messages
mean. I can provide more detailed information on request if these
messages represent a problem.

Regards,
