No. a really simple kernel with no specialities.

It's set to half duplex by default (the switch says it).
But since today morning I let the machine ping it's right neighbor(?).
It works uninterrupted.
But yesterday I tries to ping the machine if it doesn't send packets out
by itself and it does not response.
To say it again:
1) If I boot the machine, it will not answer, but the NIC
gets/recognizes the packets.
2) If I send some data out (f.e. echo request, ns lookup), the machine
answers packets for ca. 3 hours.
3) Then it seems to be dead from world, but a look to the console shows:
it's alive.
4) GoTo 2 ':-)
Ciao
and thanks for help and patience
