- Basically the hardware part of the LAN card did not agree with
- what the driver thought it should. Could be just a cosmic ray
- hit a register :). Anyways, I wouldn't worry about it unless
- it keeps happening, then I would start with the LAN card.

- As for the core dump. It should be this size of your RAM. When
- the machine crashes, the core file gets written into your primary
- swap space. If the directory /tmp/syscore existed when you rebooted
- the machine, the core file got copied into that directory, otherwise
- it just got overwritten when that space was used for swap.
