Hmm.... we both have a "rev 8" chip (and we also both have the same PHY
chip too it seems).

I did some testing on the PCI add-on fxp on the same server today
(without changing cables or anthing else -- just moving the one cable
over from the motherboard to the add-on card) and it seems quite
stable:

	fxp1 at pci0 dev 7 function 0: i82550 Ethernet, rev 12
	fxp1: interrupting at irq 9
	fxp1: Ethernet address 00:02:b3:28:1e:ac
	inphy1 at fxp1 phy 1: i82555 10/100 media interface, rev. 4
	inphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

I'll have to try testing both my NICs at 100baseTX-FDX, but at this
point I'm at a loss as to why problems would "suddenly" appear on a
system where the only thing that's changed is the revision of the driver
code.
