Hi.. I recently upgraded my motherboard from an ASUS
P55T2P4 to the P/I-XP6NP5 Pentium Pro board, with a
200Mhz PPro CPU (256k cache).

I am having this trouble with my Accton dec21040 ethernet
board in that it keeps generating this error:

Dec 14 17:33:16 mojo /kernel: de0: abnormal interrupt: transmit underflow
Dec 14 17:42:13 mojo /kernel: de0: abnormal interrupt: transmit underflow
Dec 14 17:42:47 mojo /kernel: de0: abnormal interrupt: transmit underflow

I was just wondering if anybody has seen this, and what it might mean?
These are steps I've already taken:

- Switching the PCI slots of the Buslogic card and the ether.
- Resetting the BIOS to default settings, and then re-starting

They apparently didn't help though.

This is my setup (from dmesg)
