Subject: Fix for FreeBSD 3c509 driver?

My FreeBSD-1.1 system has been suffering from the known bug in the
3c509 driver.  It takes itself off the net under high traffic loads.
I've kludged the system to re-ifconfig the port when this happens,
but it still a big problem.  Is there a patch for the driver?  Has it
been fixed in 1.1.5.1?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
