Oct 11 10:07:21 share kernel: eth0: tx interrupt but no status
Oct 11 10:08:57 share kernel: eth0: tx interrupt but no status
Oct 11 10:08:58 share kernel: eth0: transmit aborted, too many collisions
Oct 11 10:08:59 share kernel: eth0: transmit aborted, too many collisions
Oct 11 10:12:53 share kernel: eth0: tx interrupt but no status

but no "Roger is wrong" message (I assume that these should be logged in
