Hi Ali,

So I think this is the relevant trace:
51061923500: drivesys.cpu + A0 T0 : @e1000_probe+1412    : ldq
 r16,144(r30)    : MemRead :  D=0xfffffc000722b930 A=0xfffffc0007033c78
51061927500: drivesys.cpu + A0 T0 : @e1000_set_media_type+20    : bis
 r31,r16,r9      : IntAlu :  D=0xfffffc000722b930
51061942000: drivesys.cpu + A0 T0 : @e1000_set_media_type+184    : ldq
   r16,0(r9)       : MemRead :  D=0xfffffd0000000000 A=0xfffffc000722b930
51061943000: drivesys.cpu + A0 T0 : @e1000_set_media_type+192    : lda
   r16,8(r16)      : IntAlu :  D=0xfffffd0000000008
51061947500: drivesys.cpu + A0 T0 : @tsunami_readl    : ldl
 r0,0(r16)       : MemRead :

The last line of code gets executed for the NSGige adapter as well, but the
previous part of the code which sets r16, sets a different value for that
adapter, as this is adapter specific code.

I am not sure how to rectify the error still though..
