: Sean on getting the FA410 to work. We were not succesfull.

OK.  I'm starting to think that this card is broken.  Sadly, I don't
have the kind of time that it would take to investigate and fix this
problem.  Does anybody else have the time?

I'd try the following:
	Make sure that the isr is getting called.  Look at the
	interrupt rates with vmstat -i to see if it is getting
	called.  Compare these rates with the rates of the fast
	cards.  I'd expect to see about 600 interrupts per second on a 
	file transfer that is going full out (since iirc the ed cards
	do one packet at a time).

	Looking for a correleation (or lack of one) between this and 
	sniffed packet timestamps.

	Check to see if the card's media detection is working right.
	Port the fa_select.c code to FreeBSD if you want to try to
	force it.  Maybe an ifconfig option would do this too.
