	In my case, ifconfig down flushes the packets, and ifconfig up gets
	the interface up and running again (until next burst) -- mild

	But 4/21 works... (except for repeated "receive error. (ReceiveStatus=3)"
	on the console, and it also says "adapter not ready to come up", or similar,
	when I ifconfig the oltr0 for the first time -- but it works anyway).

	Is this purely FreeBSD related -- i.e.: wouldn't the Olicom people
	be able to help a little ?
