Did you get this from the messages file by cut 'n paste or type this

from sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c:

        /*
         * Enable workarounds for certain chip revision deficiencies.
         *
         * Systems based on the ICH2/ICH2-M chip from Intel, and possibly
         * some systems based a normal 82559 design, have a defect where
         * the chip can cause a PCI protocol violation if it receives
         * a CU_RESUME command when it is entering the IDLE state.  The 
         * workaround is to disable Dynamic Standby Mode, so the chip never
         * deasserts CLKRUN#, and always remains in an active state.
         *
         * See Intel 82801BA/82801BAM Specification Update, Errata #30.
