The best workaround for you is to remove 1GB of ram from your
machine.
You are the proud owner of one of the most astoundingly braindead
pci ethernet chips to come out in decades. Our group actually wants
one.. you know.. but anyways, a fix might be forthcoming..
BUGS
The BCM4401 hardware can not do DMA to addresses above 1GB. Since the
bce driver makes no effort to circumvent this problem, it is likely that
the device will not work properly on machines with more than 1GB of sys-
tem memory.
