I have a Tyan S2850 with the same (dual) LAN-chip; I increased
BGE_TIMEOUT to 500000 (due to reboot problems on a good-old
3com 100Mbps-hub which occasionaly gave me :

 bge1: firmware handshake timed out
 bge1: RX CPU self-diagnostics failed! )

This box occasionaly freezes under heavy load; with the above change
AND compiling in DEVICE_POLLING but not enabling it, I do not have
any problem for the time being (though the freeze is very hard to
reproduce).
