Weid problem
Dear all,
On my newly installed Debian pre1.2 box, I was able to do a lot of
netowrking and all of a sudden all network connections are lost. The
machine is not locked up but is isolated from the world (even machines
on the same network cannot be reached). The /var/log/messages file
recorded pages of trouble with syslogd and klogd:

This happens almost every minute. Now I just rebooted it and the
network comes up again. But no boot up messgaes were recorded in
/var/log/messages.
My system:
16MB 486-33 ISA generic machine using the 3c509 ethernet driver.
Debian pre1.2 running kernel 2.0.25.
sysklog_1.3-11
Can someone shed some light on it? Is it the kernel?
TIA,
