Recently, I began getting 
  /kernel: ix0: device timeout
messages on my main box.  I also (although not invariably) 
get 
 ixintr without being inited!!
at boot time (q.v. dmesg log attached below).  Is it possible 

Also, I was setting up a lame router, and as soon as I ifconfig ix0,
I start getting ix.cx.busy messages.  The interface does not operate
for outgoing packets.  

In ixintr_cx I read:
		if (cb->status & CB_BUSY) {
			IXCOUNTER(ifp->if_busy++;)
			printf("ix.cx.busy");	/* This should never occur */
		}
so something is wrong.  This box passes the EE16 diagnostics 
from Intel and was routing correctly running dos software in 
the current physical configuration.

Suggestions of any sort with regard to either problem are solicited.
Thanks,
