sis ethernet card hangs with "Applying short cable fix"

[Tom McLaughlin]

Hi all, I'm trying to start running -CURRENT on a spare machine of mine
but I'm having problems with my Netgear FA311 (sis) ethernet card. 
During the install it hung while trying to dhcp so I ctrl-c'ed figuring
it was a problem with the installer.  When I boot though it hangs with:

sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=f6)

I have to ctrl-c in order to finish the boot process.  I've tried 5.2
and 5.2.1 on the machine.  Both have the same problem.  I did some
googling and found mention of this same problem before and there was a
change committed to sys/pci/if_sis.c for this problem but it doesn't
seem to have fully corrected it.  Below is a portion of the dmesg and
attached is the entire dmesg.  Thanks.

Tom
