   I think it is caused by the NCR/Symbios controller. It might be a side
effect of the NCR just using up a lot of PCI bandwidth, with the real bug
being in the fxp driver (although I've looked and haven't found one). So
I don't think putting in a real Pro/100 will have any effect on the problem.
Of course I don't really know what is causing it, so just about anything
is possible.
