The current status on the fxp driver is this:
+ Adapters that are on the Intel 815 motherboard (or derivative designs)
appear to be broken, and experience the "SCB timeout". Other adapters
do not appear to have any problems.
+ This only seems to happen when the link is run at 10Mb/s, and
may also be dependent on the type of hub it is connected to.
+ There is no difference (that I am aware of) between the old driver
found in 4.3-RELEASE, and the new driver in -STABLE. Both have
the same problems.
+ The driver in -current contains a workaround for this issue, *BUT*
does not solve the problem on all boards.
+ Intel is in the process of getting me additional documentation
(errata for these boards), which hopefully can shed some light
on the issue.
