Honestly, no, I think it's probably a driver bug...  I don't know yet,
I haven't actually fixed it, I just started using the 2930 and disabling
the probe of the 2940.

But, keep in mind, the drivers for those are fairly similar; it's probably
pretty minor and easily fixed.

Slower choice, certainly... :)  My experience is that the K6 really is about
25% faster on "real work".

I wouldn't worry too much.
