I have the minipci fxp + winmodem and I get fxp SCB and DMA timeouts after
upgrading the BIOS :(
(I had A4 now A10 - both exhibit the same problem).
Also, once I suspect the USB controller stops working (controller error I
think) - never to return either.

The weird thing is that now I get SCB timeouts but the fxp can still ping..
weeeird :)

I am using the driver for the WinModem kindly written by WATANABE Kiyoshi
<aab10490@pop16.odn.ne.jp> but I have found a guaranteed way to crash it :)

cu -l /dev/cual0 -s 57600
ATH1

*boom* :(

No  panic, just hangs solid - I don't know if it is possible to get a further
diagnostic, but if anyone has a suggestion I am quite willing to try :)
