Well, I can't tell you for 100% if it is that bug or a simple driver

problems. It's just the symptoms which I know very well from prior

experiences with 5704/5705 based cards. (And the acknowledgement of

the bug from Broadcom.)

Well, the jamming DMA controller is a 5704/5705 specific problem as far as

I know. I am running on a BCM5753M, and everything is working well. We also

have BCM5721 which is running well and BCM5705_2 which is crappy as hell.
