restart dhcp for speed (can't locate module eth0:0)

[Ben Luey <lueyb@carleton.edu>]

Every hour or so, my ethernet connection gets really slow. (nearby
computer has ping of 6000ms. I'm using dhcp to get my ethernet settings.
If I run `/sbin/ifdown eth0' then `/sbin/ifup eth0` my connection works
again (same computer has ping of 2.8ms). What is causing this and what can
I do about it? When the connection is slow, nothing looks funny with
trafshow. Looking through messages shows a wierd modprobe can't locate
module eth0:0 message. Here is /var/log/messages:

Thanks,

Ben
