http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=Pundit&langs=01
  -> Chipset SIS 651/962
  -> Lan Broadcom BCM4401

The freeBSD 4.10 ata0 seems not to work properly with the native udma 6 
of the pundit. Forcing "dma disabled" in the bios for the disk prevents 
the "ad0 : read command timeout" "ata0 resetting devices" blocking.

But no more DMA is not ideal for a server...

I've tried a new ide cable, and a new drive, without effect.

In addition, I can't find the bfe0 network driver for the Broadcom 
BCM4401 in the kernel configuration, but the 4.10 release notes told the 
bfe should be in.

Any hints ?

Thanks a lot, best regards,
