So now I get the bare-bones of the loop in syslog: Dec 29 08:44:30 susannah kernel: [251002.713374] e1000e 0000:06:00.0: eth0: Reset adapter Dec 29 08:44:39 susannah kernel: [251011.985405] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Dec 29 08:44:39 susannah kernel: [251011.985409] e1000e 0000:06:00.0: eth0: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO Dec 29 08:44:40 susannah dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:14:7f:f8:83:dd via eth0 Dec 29 08:44:40 susannah dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 192.168.254.254 to myrouter (00:14:7f:f8:83:dd) via eth0 Dec 29 08:44:50 susannah kernel: [251022.871241] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Down Dec 29 08:44:50 susannah kernel: [251022.872351] e1000e 0000:06:00.0:eth0: Reset adapter which just repeats until I reset the router.
