I have 2.2.5 box (cvsupped 2.2.6 kernel) with SMC 9432TX card 
and tx driver doesn't work properly in my opinion:

Apr 21 21:57:10 veverka /kernel: tx0: device timeout 16 packets                 
Apr 21 21:57:16 veverka last message repeated 3 times                           
Apr 21 21:57:18 veverka /kernel: tx0: device timeout 9 packets                  
Apr 21 21:57:20 veverka /kernel: tx0: device timeout 1 packets                  
Apr 21 21:57:20 veverka /kernel: tx0: can't stop TX DMA                         
Apr 21 21:57:28 veverka /kernel: tx0: device timeout 1 packets                  

It is connected to NW4.x with 21140 Digital chipset card. I tried all
media types but no success. Connection is established when I use
10Mbit RealTek 8029 in FBSD box. So I think NW driver could be ok.
Thanks for any idea.

PS: Does anybody have 9432TX connected to SMC-6608T switch? Is there any
problem? I'm going to connect it by fibre with media convertors.
