eth0: Something Wicked happened! 2008.

[Thomas Foerster]

Hello,

yesterday i successfully set up Linux-2.2.18 on a new machine 
(Pentium-III-667, D-Link 530TX (via-rhine) network-card, 256MB Ram).

The system is now running for about 1 day, and now i get lot's of these messages :

eth0: Something Wicked happened! 2008.

This happened on another machine a few months ago (never appeared again for months now).

What does this mean?? Is my NIC damaged??

Thanx a lot,
  Thomas

Check out http://www.scyld.com/network/ethercard.html look under errata -
Via Rhine.

It seems your link either went down or had too many collisions. This caused
the driver to yell "something wicked happened".
