More interesting info.  You only need to write a 0x0800 to get the
link light to come on, so that's the magic transceiver bit.  Who knows
what the other bit is for, but we may as well set it.  My card has
been working all day w/o a problem.  And writing a 0x0000 back to that
address turns the transceiver off.  Perhaps, that should be done when
the driver is removed?
