I have a similar problem with my dual-use stable/current box. When I run 4.5-stable, the dc driver works fine (with a DE500 card). The same machine when running a fairly recent -current fails to achieve link, and gives some "dc0: watchdog timeout" messages. I did not enable polling. I was going to track this down eventually, but if Luigi is planning on merging the polling code, this should be fixed first. I'll try a dc driver from before all the polling changes to see if that brings the card to life. Stephen.
