attached dmesg, I get several "livelock messages" when this interface
is config'ed in rc.conf and I get the "dc0: watchdog timeout" message
every 5 seconds. The xl0 built-in interface on the laptop works fine.
Note that if I boot the latop without the card and then insert it, I
immediately get the message "intr 10 at 40001/40000 hz, livelocked

I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm the only one that uses this
silly card with DFly. Are you guys trying to tell me I should toss it
and buy a decent card? :-)

It is probably not NIC related. Did you try disabling ACPI?

ACPI is the culprit.  I've always had success using this card with
ACPI enabled, including under 2.0, so it didn't even occur to me to
disable it.  So something between 2.0 and 2.2 broke it, FYI.  Thanks!
