 Release: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
 
 Description: With two LPC3-TX cards in hand, it was confirmed the hi- and
 low-bytes for the vendor MELCO are swapped.  Once the bytes are swapped back
 and kernel recompiled (with GENERIC), one card gave the incorrect MAC
 address (even with the 'ether' line) and the other hangs the machine
 (similar to PCMCIA running out of IRQs).
