 3com 3c595 has had a number of hardware revs to the card, please note
 the cautions in the device driver manual page.  If you have multiple
 3c595 cards available, please test with some that are different hardware
 revisions and see if the panics stop.  Also turn off busmastering on
 the PCI bus, assuming your system supports it in the BIOS settings and
 see if that makes any difference.
 
 And lastly, please check to see if this panic happens on both cold
 and warm boot.
