I doubt that was due to the bus mastering driver too.  Perhaps this could
work a lkm and -stable users could "test" it, maybe even make it a kernel
option or something, before it becomes part of the branch.

Would someone be willing to do this? I would but I don't have the
knowledge.

Doug mentioned something about a patch to support bus mastering was 
already available for -stable, and that it was easy to find. Maybe I'm
just blind, but does anyone know where this patch is located?

Thanks for your time,
Jay
