cool.. is this fix only in 1.6? 
i felt a bit better when the same card also did not work flawlessly in 
ultrix 4.4! (perhaps 4.5 got it right.. but even in 4.4, it works fine, 
but the card resets itself every minute or so under heavy load..) 
in any case, its cool that this has been fixed! 
happy hacking,
