bge && amd systems- a curious side note...

[Matthew Jacob]

I have an AMD box graciously given to me by David O'Brien. It has a
bge chip on it. This box has suffered over the spasms of the bge
driver of late in current.

What *does* seem to happen is that it hangs during DHCP discovery- but
if I ping it, it seems to unfreeze (see below). Just an FYI for those
who are interested....
