 Well I guess we were over optimistic on PR 179033. Yes I can get some of 
 the Nics to work some of the time but mostly they don't work. They DO 
 list the correct mac addresses and Status lines though, so that is an 
 improvement. If I have just one quad port card installed then dc3 works 
 most often, then dc1. dc0 and dc2 I'm not sure I ever saw working. Even 
 if an interface worked for a bit it often stops after a while. Id'e be 
 happy to run some tests if anyone has some patches for me to try.
