TX Setup Timeout + TX Timeout

[S.Hockenhull]

there's some timing problem with grub's davicom driver on my new machine.

I've tried adding a 2/18.2 second delay between each I/O access to the eeprom 
(phy_write_1bit and read) and adding larger delays everywhere in the 
initialisation function but that didnt fix things.

Dual Opteron 248, 1.6Ghz 
single-channeled 256MiB
MSI K8T Master-2 (VIA K8T800 chipset)

Davicom 9009 at 0x9000, ROM address 0x0000

I'm using the same network card type+model+rev on another machine (slot-A 
Athlon 700Mhz) and tried that exact NIC in 3 other machines (Pentium 90, 
P100, Pentium-S 200) and it works fine so its not the NIC itself.

I've tried changing slots, disabling onboard devices, changing some PCI 
timings but it didnt fix anything (altho there are some new settings related 
to Hypertransport that I havent touched, dont know: dont touch ;)

anyone (who knows about low-level NIC better than me) got an idea?

(I dare hoped cheap software-delays in I/O access would die along with the 
yamaha OPL chips ;)
