Do you mean that the ethernet card is actually working for a half an
hour?  I didn't think *any* ethernet cards worked at all.  If it's
working for you, I'm very surprised.

As far as the failure goes, you might ask brad@fcr.com about it.
Brad Parker is (I think) the original author of the MacBSD ethernet
driver.

If

(1) the card is actually working for 1/2 hour, maybe you need to look at your
	cabling or termination.  You may also be encountering latency problems
	in the driver subsystem.

(2) the card is just sitting there unused, you are probably seeing the
	message resulting from the driver's attempts to initialize the
	card.  The solution is for us to fix the kernel to allow optionally
	ignoring the card, to fix the actual driver, or to remove the
	card from the IIx.
