Howdy,

Everytime I boot my FreeBSD machine, I receive the following errors:

May 31 12:14:54 marvin /kernel: iscp->busy time out
May 31 12:14:54 marvin /kernel: Reset timeout scb->status = ffff
May 31 12:14:54 marvin /kernel: .TO=ffff:
May 31 12:14:54 marvin /kernel: shutting down
May 31 12:14:54 marvin /kernel: Diagnose timeout scb->status = ffff
May 31 12:14:54 marvin /kernel: .TO=ffff:
May 31 12:14:54 marvin /kernel: shutting down
May 31 12:14:55 marvin /kernel: Configure timeout scb->status = ffff
May 31 12:14:55 marvin /kernel: .TO=ffff:
May 31 12:14:55 marvin /kernel: shutting down
May 31 12:14:55 marvin /kernel: IAS timeout scb->status = ffff
May 31 12:14:55 marvin /kernel: .TO=ffff:
May 31 12:14:55 marvin /kernel: shutting down

(these were the errors as sent to syslog)


I have tracked these errors down to the initiallization my Intel
Etherexpress 16 (ix0).  My network at home consists of the one machine
and a 10base-2 cable.. not a whole lot for testing there. :)  However, 
whenever I take my system to campus and try to access the ethernet directly
I receive timeout errors of device ix0.

Any thoughts?
