The problem only occurs on faster machines.   For me it didn't work in a PII 400MHz
machine but moving the offending card to a P133 machine made it work again.      The
addition of the DELAY() fixes the problem.     The problem stems from the fact that
the driver init routine is called twice in quick succession - once for IPv4 and
again for IPv6.  The other way of fixing it is to disable the call to ifp->if_ioctl
in netinet6/in6_ifattach.c
