No, it's actually the stupid 82557.  It requires a atomic write to a 
non-aligned region in order for proper operation.  Fine on IA, not fine 
on almost everything else.

I think FreeBSD has an #ifdef __alpha__ in their "fxp" driver to 
address this.  I'm tempted to add one such myself, at this point.
