Hello!

After installation of 3.3-STABLE (snapshot of 19991216)
on a few computers I noticed messages about tx underrun in xl0:

xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> rev 0x24 int a irq 11 on pci0.11.0
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:5a:a9:fa:91
xl0: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps)
xl0: transmission error: 90
xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes
xl0: transmission error: 90
xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 180 bytes

This is noticed on computers with PPRO (180) and Pentium (150) cpus.
I haven't seen such messages on either 3.1-STABLE or 2.x 
on the same computers.

Is there anything to worry about ?

Thanks,

Igor
