Re: FW: Ethernet Card?

I answered to Zack direct, but did not get a reply, so I repeat my 
answer to the list. (I see I forgot to cc the list the first time.)

Hi Zack,

This is a feature of the delqa which is emulated very faithfully :)

It happens because the transmit list may get invalid sometimes; i.e. 
a
`cannot happen' situation.

It is a known problem for which there is no solution afaik. It is a 
problem of the delqa and the driver is only reporting it. After that 
it
retries. See this thread from 2002:
