Well, I can't tell you for 100% if it is that bug or a simple driver
problems. It's just the symptoms which I know very well from prior
experiences with 5704/5705 based cards. (And the acknowledgement of
the bug from Broadcom.)

Well, the jamming DMA controller is a 5704/5705 specific problem as far as
I know. I am running on a BCM5753M, and everything is working well. We also
have BCM5721 which is running well and BCM5705_2 which is crappy as hell.
