We have several Supermicro 370DL3 boards (scsi, built into epro100, dual
pentium iii) - which are giving the following ethernet card error on
2.2.18p21, but not on 2.2.18p17. This error has happened on 3 out of 4
boards with this configuration.

Oct 18 12:17:34 db1 kernel: eth0: card reports no RX buffers.
The above message repeats itself and the ethernet card does not work.

On bootup:
Oct 18 12:17:34 db1 kernel: scsi : detected 1 SCSI disk total.
Oct 18 12:17:34 db1 kernel: SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes.

I believe this has been an ongoing issue for these intel nics?
