ethernet card/AppleTalk problem

The driver for my SMC Ultra card occationally spits out "eth0: transmit timed
out" messages. This never seemed to bother anything before, so I didn't worry
too much about it.

When I upgraded to 1.3.20, however, I noticed that a few seconds after this
would happen, atalkd would decide that all the routers went down. After this,
nothing save a reboot will get AppleTalk running again.

Any ideas?

Aug 22 21:41:16 tigger kernel: eth0: Possible network cable problem?
