Mooneye was logging this since this morning ;
Nov 15 00:58:10 mooneye kernel: eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 90.
Nov 15 00:58:20 mooneye kernel: nfs: server home.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au not
responding, still trying
Nov 15 00:58:24 mooneye kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.

Looks like it's happy for the moment, now... What it didn't do was
