Apparently it is already there ?

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c? 
rev=1.2.2.6&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

I just cvsupped and installed on our 2950's
a previous C++ project build did indeed trigger the bce watchdog, but  
with the new version it is just fine.
Thing which is a bit odd though, is that copying +100 gig of data  
from nfs to the 2950 which it was doing previously didn't lock things  
up with the old driver.

My thanks to Scott Long and all others who worked on this!
