No.  The memory corrupted packet bug has been in FreeBSD, on and off,
since about FreeBSD 1.0.  Usually it means there is a problem with the
card, but sometimes it just happens.

The hang bug is different.  There is something going on in the if_ed
and linksys parts with external MII parts.  If you send a packet
while it is autonegotiating, then you'll get the hang.
