eth1: 3Com 3c905 Boomerang 100baseTx at 0xe400, 00:60:08:55:1a:73, IRQ 9
8K word-wide RAM 3:5 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/MII interface.
MII transceiver found at address 24, status 786d.
Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.

Appears to behave normally, but occasionally I get things like:

eth1: transmit timed out, tx_status 00
status e000.
Flags; bus-master 1, full 1; dirty 91590
current 91606.
Transmit list 00000000 vs. c79fba60.

eth1: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.

at which point I loose all networking through that card for about a second
before it fixes itself and carries on as normal.
