I have been out of the office all week, but w.r.t. the very very slow
performance with ARM Netbsd and intel etherexpress (fxp) ether card, Bill
Sommerfeld had the following suggestion (amongst others):

Well, this morning I disable the caching on my EBSA 285 netbsd kernel and
suddenly the etherexpress (fxp) works!

I'm going to start looking at fixing this myself, but any ideas or "quick
fix" suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks
