A bad card can cause a lot of bad addresses
in a very short time and chew up the address space something fierce. Not saying it's definate, but it sure seems to be something to do with DHCP. Had something like this happen here, finally tracked it down to a faulty ethernet card. Replaced the card and stopped running out of addresses due to BAD ADDRESS faults.
With this much manure around, there must be a pony somewhere.
