Hi,

I had to reboot my machine tonight, because it seemed like
my keyboard went bonkers (I could only get lowercase when
CAPS LOCK was on, and I couldn't get chars like comma, dot &
slash, but only left-angle, right-angle & question-mark). A
check of the temp in the BIOS didn't show anything too high:
CPU 50C & mobo 29C

When I rebooted the machine, eth0 wouldn't come up. A check
of syslog said "Invalid MAC Address".

How could this be, when that card was working not 5 minutes
beforehand?

The machine is off now, just in case it was a heat problem.

Thanks,
Ron
