[ale] Weird fd/NIC interaction.

[Joe Knapka]

I've recently noticed that whenever I "dd" a file to /dev/fd0,
my NE2K-clone NIC freaks and starts spewing many messages
into the syslog like, "eth1: mismatched read-page pointers X and Y"
and refuses to send or receive any data henceforth.

"ifconfig eth1 down; dhcpcd eth1" seems to fix the problem
(this is the card that talks to the cable modem).
Anyone seen anything like that before?
