    This is very odd.  I don't understand how making ABI calls prior
    to calling pfnInit() would help matters.  Perhaps the actual 
    problem was that the ABI calls were previously being made after
    interrupts were enabled and after the device was started.

    What happens if you move the setmulti and ifmedia calls to after
    the pfnInit() call but before the pfnEnableInterrupts() and Start calls?
