[rescue] needed: cable/DSL router

[Michael Free]

The only time I've ever had to power cycle my SMC is when the cable sync was
oscillating so fast it confused the DHCP discovery programming... the cable
would come up for a second and then dump for 4 minutes. But, that's
Adelphia's problem, not SMC.

Other than that, it's been running great, never reset. The "confusion" has
only happened twice, and if your cable never exhibits that kind of goof, I
wouldn't worry about it.

Actually, had I not been manically watching the cable sync lights and
hitting "renew" every time it popped on, I wouldn't have crashed it :)
