Solution: RTFM! where M = the vr manpage

Watchdog timeout means the device has stopped responding to the network but
usually means it's just stopped responding period.

I own a DFE530-TX and it works totally fine with no problems at all. I had
the exact same problems with watchdog timeouts to start with but tracked the
problem down to the fact that I put the card in the wrong slot. It needs to
be in the highest priority slot (the bus mastering slot) which is usually
pci0, i put mine in pci4 by mistake.

Although the card isn't the best card in the world, it's cheap, cheerful and
it works!

Rgds.
