Nope.  The original bmac had this bug, too, as did this driver before bmac
was supported.  (Or at least the MkLinux version of this driver, which you
can compare line-for-line for grins.)

Unless there was a previous bmac driver that used different code, it is
unlikely that this ever worked right.  Especially, given that even Apple's
Darwin code says it's a hardware bug.  Two words: sun ethernet....  ;-)
