what is curious is that I am using a 4-port D-link on our
test boxes as primary development cards and they do not seem
to freeze. The card uses 21143 and seems quite reliable.
I know of a bug in the code on my web site whose symptoms look like
a freeze, but that is presumably related to a race in delivering
softisr's and so should be card independent and appear with the
fxp's as well -- as a matter of fact i first hit it with the "sis"
card.
