Marvell 88E8001 on an ASUS P5NSLI motherboard is unable to send/receive
packets on a system with >4gb ram unless a 32bit DMA mask is used.

This issue has been around for years and a fix was sent 3.5 years ago, but
there was some debate as to whether it should instead be fixed as a PCI quirk.

However, 18 months later a similar workaround was introduced for another
chipset exhibiting the same problem.

This is still oddly formatted.

And this is even worse than before.

Thunderbird must be screwing it. I hate mail clients. If I just pipe
the message to 'mail',
with a correct 'From:' line is that ok, or do I have to figure
something else out?
