   I obviously missed that. It would be interesting to install a PCI Pro/100+
and see if the behavior changes. That would lead me to think that the BIOS
is doing something funky to it. I wonder if doing a "FXP_PORT_SOFTWARE_RESET"
rather than, or in addition to, the "FXP_PORT_SELECTIVE_RESET" would effect
the problem?
