GNIC II is not working

Hi,

For what it's worth, I just wanted to add another datapoint to this
discussion...  I have a HP motherboard and observe the same symptom of 64
bit detection from warm boots.  I just live with it.  However, Windows
detects and installs the card just fine all the time, so wouldn't that
suggest a bug in the linux driver?  I discussed this with the nice folks at
Packet Engines, except we weren't able to fix it.  I eventually gave up and
decided to live with it.  For my application setting it wasn't a big deal.
