The support has been present, but that doesn't mean the support is flawless. The problem is with the 8139C+ chip. I wouldn't be surprised if the problems with the re driver have something to do with the way the console is behaving. In my experience, the console once again begins to respond (for awhile anyway) if I get the re driver to watchdog timeout on the firebox (strange, right?). You wouldn't think they are related, but I have made this happen a number of times this way so it looks more like a correlation than a coincidence to me. I have resigned myself to putting it aside until I can get a hardware sample to Pyun. I don't think the support for 8139C+ will ever be 100% (I'd take 99%) until this happens.
