Thomas Nystrom has found the necessary fixes to our driver, I should be committing them this weekend (and MFCing them to 4.x soon after that.)

Sorry to be pedantic, but there's a problem with that statement. Via's documentation isn't "good", there are many tiny glitches they don't list. Nonetheless, they are far better than Nvidia, who isn't releasing any specs for their NIC chipset...
