>Description:
	smdls5 has NetBSD-1.5.2 userland with a recent 1.5ZA kernel,
	and five four-port NIC cards.  It is used for NIS/DNS/NTP.
	These are Adaptec Quartet66 (ANA-64044) cards, which have the
	64-bit PCI edge connector, but are in 32-bit PCI slots.

	The -current kernel, for the past few months, has a problem
	with this card.  There were also problems with the stock
	1.5.2 and the 1.5Y kernels.  After being up some time, generally
	a few days, one random interface will develop a "device timeout"
	problem, repeating this message fairly often:

	Feb 12 17:15:42 smdls5 /netbsd: sf17: device timeout
	Feb 12 17:16:46 smdls5 /netbsd: sf17: device timeout
	Feb 12 17:23:35 smdls5 /netbsd: sf17: device timeout

	A few days later a different random interface will start displaying
	"device timeout" errors.  And so on.  Our worst offender currently
	has trouble with 8 of 18 active interfaces.

	When an interface is having the "device timeout" errors, NIS clients
	bound via the interface will have troubles doing "ypcat passwd", taking
	many minutes instead of the several seconds it should.
	
	On reboot, a different set of interfaces will have the problem.
	I haven't noticed any pattern.  I haven't found any way to trigger
	the problem.

	Here's dmesg output for the first card:
