sounds like you've got an old digi driver... you might what to
try the dgb.c and friends from -stable or -current. (they're
probably the same)  I had similar problems before the last
round of bug fixes.  There's also an even newer set of patches
from somewhere (check the -hardware mail archives at freefall),
but I hear the it doesn't work with multiple cards (maybe not
a problem for you).
