I mentioned that I've been having problems with the de driver in the
latest 3.0 snapshots.  This is on a 10mb ethernet.

I get a kernel message when the problem occors:

de0: abnormal interrupt: transmit underflow (raising TX threshold to 96|256)

The interface then freezes until I down it and up it again.

I've replaced the new de driver in /sys/pci with the older one, remade
the kernel, and things work fine.  I did this in the 3.0-970807-SNAP.
Since I was getting the same result in all the snaps up to 3.0-970912,
I'd expect the same fix to work in all the later snaps, though I
haven't tried it yet.

My card gets reported as

de0: SMC 9332BDT 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0
