The problem is you just don't want it to be a hardware problem because
you don't accept the possibility that the NT driver wrote around a
hardware problem and the FreeBSD driver doesen't.  Despite the fact
that making up for hardware problems with writearounds in the software
drivers is a common thing in the industry.

So you won't do the testing to prove that it is or isn't a hardware
bug, and thus you can continue pretending to yourself that it must be
software, and thus not your responsibility.
