Subject: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (sis900): transmit queue 0 timed out

Hi, I've recently started using an ASUS P4S800 motherboard with a dual 
core Pentium 4 CPU and the latest Linus git master kernel.

lspci -v reports that the ethernet card is the following:

00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI 
Fast Et
hernet (rev 91)
         Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 80ff
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
         I/O ports at 8800 [size=256]
         Memory at d5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
         Expansion ROM at dffe0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
         Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
         Kernel driver in use: sis900

A few times per day I get the following error. The kernel recovers 
quickly enough so that the link isn't reported as down.

Any more information required? Any tests that I could run?
