Roar,

the code in /sys/dev/qbus/if_qe.c already is exactly like my patched
sgec.c, in the relevant sections.
And, at least my DELQA is not as evil as the sgec when it comes to the
dreaded "xmit logic died" message. It just stops for a short while
(maybe 10 seconds or so), whereas the sgec locks up the machine for a
minute or so. Without my patch, i mean.
So, it looks like the qe-Boards really "die" from time to time.
