This essentially leaves us with Matt's 970703 driver but with the tx descriptor page wrap bug fixed. However, there are some known problems remaining. If the new problems are found worse than the old ones, and they are not found and fixed prior to release, this will be reverted to the old driver. The (known) problems are: - autoselect is a bit flakey on older cards with BNC in use. An explicit setting of the media modes is thought to work. - There were some reports of OACTIVE getting stuck "on" and/or "Transmitter underflow" requiring an ifconfig down and up to unjam it. More details are needed. The old driver simply doesn't work on a good number of newer cards. We can't afford to not give this a try.
