If it had that affect, it wasn't intentional.  I think it might actually
be Peter's change to the "this card needs bounce buffers" code that did
the trick.

The BT driver still needs a lot of work.  Before I ripped the bt742a I
used to test the new driver on out of my machine, I noticed that our reset
code for the adapter would fail if no cable was attached.  I don't have
specs for the Buslogic line, so I can't correct the problem.  Does
anyone have the specs for these cards?  I also haven't heard if the PCI
probe I wrote for the 946 cards was sucessful and we still need the 
device ID for the 956 (and support for device ids > 7).
