 Sean>  Which file in dev/firewire are you looking at?
 
 fwohci.c  and  firewire.c
 
 examples:
 
 printf("non CYCLEMASTER mode\n");
 
 device_printf(fc->dev, "Initiate bus reset\n");

 With the printfs, Ethernet is not getting serviced.  This
 is repeatable and easily reproduced.   Without the printfs,
 it seems ok.
 
 If it isn't spl, what is locking out Ethernet?
