I was getting annoyed by being spammed by these messages, and hence
rebooted. I also terminated all network connections beforehand to no
immediate avail. Would these messages have eventually stopped or not?

Apart from this, I don't seem to be one of the poor few badly afflicted
with 3c59x problems. I've had ~820k/sec going over the ethernet whilst
doing ftp.

PS Cheers to that person who posted the mount.h patch to get quotas
compiling! Will the patch make it into the kernel includes permanently?
