That's interesting.
The open() and probe() logic in the 2.2.18 driver is basically unchanged
since 2.2.14. And 3com's driver breaks with pump too. AFAIK it's
completely unchanged.
This makes one wonder what a successful return from open() actually
_means_. Autonegotiation takes up to three seconds, and we return from open()
with it still in progress. So the interface is not yet usable.

It's very sick. It forks a daemon. The child process gets to
the stage where it has written out your new /etc/resolv.conf
and then it gets stuck making no system calls, chewing 100%
of CPU.
Yes, it ups and downs the interface a couple of times,
but everything seems happy. In fact, killing off the
bisbehaving pump leaves the interface in a working state,
so perhaps I have not in fact reproduced the problem. Hopefully
Christian can retest with a later pump and let me know.
