I can confirm this, for a SMC PCI-X card 173b:03e9
# lspci -vs 1:d.0
01:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Altima (nee Broadcom) AC1001
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 15)
Subsystem: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC] Device 9562
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 21
Memory at fc9f0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] PCI-X non-bridge device
Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
Capabilities: [58] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+
Kernel driver in use: tg3
Kernel modules: tg3
It seems to be hanging in dma test. Reverting to the old tg3 driver
works for me as well.

Ian
