thousands of "tulip_stop_rxtx() failed" errors

[jerome lacoste]

Using kernel 2.6.11 on Mandriva LE 2005, I am seeing a lot of tulip
errors in my logs:
   0000:02:09.0: tulip_stop_rxtx() failed

It doesn't seem to impact the performance, although it fills up my logs. 

The card is connected to the ADSL modem. Any idea as to what could be
causing this?
Bad cable?

The box is remote so I cannot do much with hardware right now.

Cheers,

Jerome
