This system was previously running FreeBSD and the problem was noticed
after doing the upgrade to FreeBSD-stable with the new PHY code.  I
haven't looked at the BIOS configuration for quite some time now, and
can't say for certain; but it's likely that PNP OS? is set to NO so
that the BIOS assigns resources to the peripherals.
