Hi all!

In a log file on our firewall is a lot of messages:

In the man page for xl driver I found:
     This message may be printed during driver initialization on slower 
     machines. If you see this message but the driver continues to function 
     normally, the message can probably be ignored.

It seems the machine is working OK, but the message rate disturbs me.
Means it, this machine is slow? It is:

 CPU: Pentium/P54C (167.05-MHz 586-class CPU)
 Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x52c  Stepping =12
 Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8>
 real memory  = 67108864 (65536K bytes)

The traffic through this NIC was in this time 2Mb/s In + 2Mb/s Out.
May I ignore these messages or I must upgrade the machine?

Regards,

Bohus Plucinsky
