Intel NICs can't do all the clever virtualization that Atheros
5k and 9k can, so what fun would they be anyway :)

The AR9380 NIC (sparklan 127N) I just started testing on 39-rc7-wl has been very
solid..once we fixed a few regressions that popped into the 39-wl
tree.

And, haven't seen any of those scary DMA splats either..I think Felix
and others must have finally squished that bug!

And, aside from one dodgy Ubiquity NIC, various other ath9k
cards have been working well too.

So, hopefully you'll start having better luck as well...
