I have a DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR motherboard with onboard Marvell Yukon Gigabit LAN. I have also seen this problem around the web with some different motherboards/network cards which share the chip. Date/time is unimportant for this error as it happens about once per minute. This is the last error in /var/log/messages: May 15 02:36:03 localhost eth0: -- ERROR -- May 15 02:36:03 localhost Class: internal Software error May 15 02:36:03 localhost Nr: 0x19e May 15 02:36:03 localhost Msg: Vpd: Cannot read VPD keys Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
