Something is happening long before you start doing ipv6.
The parity error's mean that the PCI transfers are going south.
The driver might be better to just shut it self off after that.
Perhaps the PCI access isn't working properly. What is the config?
Also are you running i386 or x86_64 on this.
Is this fix in your version?
