This is an Asante NIC. The machine isn't very busy, not busy at all at boot
time ;), but the network could well be busy when I'm booting the SE/30. I
may try again at night. It seems like I didn't see this error the first few
times I booted with this card, and I was concerned that the card might be
failing. It seems to work fine once it boots tho.

Thanks,

Brad
