[from the PR]
Using a DEFPA card on macppc causes the entire system to hang. 
I can reproduce at will. Interestingly, if I ping from the fpa 
to a non existant host on the same subnet, I do get the 'host 
is down' reply. Its only when a packet is RECEIVED that the 
entire system hangs.

Aua! This is "not nice". (Like fsck(8) on NetBSD-VAX, that liks to
core-dump with an SIGILL. My Exabyte is my friend...) 
I am on the way to install a 3COM OEM version of the DEFPA in my PREP
machine (43P-100). This is PPC but not Mac. Perhaps we will see if this
is more related to the PCI bus handling or fpa(4).
