Re: wm(4) problems

it's not a driver bug, but if it's generating CRC errors on the other side,
that's sounding very hardwareish!

I might try swapping the card later tonight.

I don't think it's a switch port, since I've tried more than one switch, and more than one port on each switch. I don't think it's the cable, since I've tried three different cables.
