   The driver hasn't been officially tested with the 82562 and I don't at the
moment have the necessary programming information for that chip to know if
there are problems using it with the fxp driver. I don't have an 815
to test with at the moment, but it seems reasonable that I might get one at
some point to troubleshoot the problem. I can't commit to any timeframe,
however, so if the timeouts aren't a major problem, I would just ignore them
for now. On the other hand, if the timeouts are a problem, then I'd recommend
getting a Pro/100+ PCI card, plugging that in, and using it instead.
