Re: Re: 2.2.18: weird eepro100 msgs

[angelcode]

I've been seeing the same kind of messages with an eepro100 
but they don't happen when the module is loaded.  They 
happen after it has been running for a few days.  I am 
running 2.4.1.  I haven't seen any real problems but these 
messages still scare me.
