Hi there.

	One of the FreeBSD3.2 systems that I oversee just did something
	very peculiar...  It spontaneously rebooted itself.  When I checked
	the login records, there are two reboot entries listed, but no-one
	logged in save for myself.  I checked the dmesg logs to see if
	there is anything that might be of help, and I found several
	entries exactly like this:

	xl0: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped!

	Am I correct in assuming that this has something to do with a
	possibly flakey ethernet card?  Or is there another cause for this
	message?  Any help would be very nice, as downtime on a mail server
	is not looked on fondly by paying customers.

	Thank you,

	~brian skrab
