Well, no.  The report is quite accurate.  Maybe it's not as complete
as it could have been, though.  :-)

	card:		Interlan BD-N11010, rev C, assy rev A, S.N A-103.
	transceiver:	Interlan NA1010
	driver:		@(#)if_de.c     7.1 (Berkeley) 6/5/86

It does appear that nobody else has seen this, so I'm still a little
puzzled.  Someone did mention that Interlan shipped some bad cards
about five years ago which had a similar problem.  Our card is
at least that old.  Anyway, I've quite worrying about it and just
replaced it with a DEUNA, since we have plenty of those.

Thanks to all who responded.
