Not busy at all, when I saw the problem I was alone in the
building, no other comptuer was working. BTW I experimented a little more:

- When I ftp another computer and get a big file (200Mo), I have no
problems.

- When I telnet a server (Linux 2.0.33, UP, with 3c900) and get a file
from my computer with ftp, it hangs.

I also noticed another message:

eth0: Infinite loop in interrupt, status 2081.
eth0: transmit timed out, Tx_status 00 status 2000 Tx FIFO room 1272.
