Hello, managers!

I've got a 2100 with a DE 500-XA network card. I've been running it for
a few
years already without problems. But recently I bought a DLT7000 drive
and
now the machine has died twice during the backup. The DLT could eat
about all the network capasity.

The board is:
                                        tu1: DECchip 21140: Revision:
1.2
                                        tu1 at pci0 slot 7
                                        tu1: DEC TULIP (10/100) Ethernet

                                         _Interface, hardware address:
                                         _00-00-F8-03-1A-C7
                                        tu1: console mode: selecting
10BaseT
                                         _(UTP) port: half duplex

And I used to run it at 100Base half duplex, but I just changed that to
full duplex.

I'm running DU 4.0D, no patches.

Is there a patch for the driver or any kernel settings I should set?
Shortly
after boot I get the messages:
