Re: reload drivers ?

[Mihai Amariutei <mihai@ambra.ro>]

The driver shouldn't freeze, regardless the number of connections- it just
isn't aware of the higher protocol levels involved. I suspect the problem is
in the PCI interface (it may be a problem in the firmare or even a hardware
design flaw) or in handling the data transfer with the board.
