    I really don't know, it depends on the cause of the timeout.  There
    were a couple of bugs in if_nv.c that I fixed a few days ago that were
    causing the lion's share of the watchdog timeouts, but the timeouts still
    occur occassionally for me.  If that particular motherboard still gets
    continuous timeouts then it is probably an interrupt routing problem
    rather then a driver problem, but it should still be possible to make
    the network work with polling turned on.
