Hi, Anders.
As Don says, this is pretty wierd.
It would be interesting to run 'vortex-diag -aa' when the card is up and
running so we can verify that the TxStartThresh register is indeed set
to the correct default value of 0x1ffc. Would you be able to grab
vortex-diag.c from http://www.scyld.com/diag/ and do this?
Probably a better (prompter) fix for Tx underrun is to do a TxReset in
vortex_error, clear tbusy and force a new BH Tx run.
