The suggestion to try different drivers is directed towards finding out if 
there is a problem in the driver. There are differences between the driver 
distributed with the kernel, the Scyld one and the 3Com one and it might 
be that some of these differences are in fact bugs... If they are 
pinpointed, they can be fixed or at least documented.

Only if it's different from the normal state, please.
