Its a ubuntu 4.10 kernel version 2.6.8.1, also had the same problem with
mdk10 (which is why i tried ubuntu).  The card is an onboard intel
eepro100.

Setting the card to "allmulti" may also help with some cards - and it's

They are supposed to be flushed out on an internal timer (which is
independant
of the DECnet code, unfortunately) if not renewed. I know of no way to
flush the
