	I'm running the same card, but it has not locked up on me yet.  I also
run RedHat 7.0 and noticed the same message at bootup.  Maybe a nicely
worded email to the writer of the driver would prove useful.  Hopefully, if
the Linux driver has a work around for this card, moving this fix to
FreeBSD will be trivial.:)
