This is actually a problem with the bmac driver which most (if not all)
beige g3s use for ethernet (as well as some iMacs). The darwin driver
doesn't appear to have the same problem as the linux driver, so we're
taking a look at the two of them and trying to figure out what is
causing it. Once we figure it out, we'll post a message to the list
with information on where the new kernel can be downloaded from.
