My firewall (FreeBSD 4.2) uses two of these cards, and I have no such
messages, no I/O errors, no nothing. 'ifconfig' picks them up right, too:
dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP none
dc1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UT
'dmesg' reports:
dc0: <ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX> port 0x3000-0x30ff mem 0xf4100000-0xf41003ff irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci1

IIRC, some do regard them as cheapo-junk, but they're fine on my system.
