Hi,

I've got a tulip based Asanté ethernet card that started to misbehave 
after a 1.5K ('de') -> 1.6rc3 ('tlp') upgrade:


Sep  9 20:47:34 heap /netbsd: tlp0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0: DECchip 
21140A Ethernet, pass 2.2

100baseTX-FDX

[...]

store and forward mode


During nightly backup runs with high network activity, I get an 
endless stream of

Sep 12 22:06:40 heap /netbsd: tlp0: receive error: dribbling bit

Who is at fault? The card, or the driver?
