The 800 is a EPIA board, not EPIA-M. The LAN controllers are
different: VT6102 & VT6103, I believe.

As for the problem...

vr0: transmit aborted
vr0: restarting
vr0: transmit aborted

...is that bad under 1.6.1, the 100BaseT connection only sees
~3kB/sec. With FreeBSD and Linux, I'd get the link at near
saturation. (And considering the vr driver came from FreeBSD...)
