I have a machine that is acting up. It was doing this a couple weeks
ago and I replaced the motherboard thinking that maybe the physical
ethernet port was going bad (connector or chip). The new motherboard
is starting to act up the same way after a week or two of running
fine and I am wondering if something else might be the issue.
After the uname I list the stuff from the syslog before it goes off
the net and my auto rebooter power strip thinks it has crashed and
forces a reboot (which I have now turned off so I can go in and look
more next time it happens). This did not happen for the last week or
two and all of a sudden happened about 5 times today...

What does this message mean? PHY read timed out? I did a google on
it but the issues were various other things.
Could this be a bad cable?
Thanks
