There's a function in the driver which issues reset commands to the
hardware and then spins, waiting for completion. Usually it takes
a single PCI cycle. In your case it timed out.

It look to me like the NIC is powered down. Could you please
send me a bunch of info:

- Does the interface actually work after this message, or is
it dead?

- If the latter, did you warmboot from another OS?

- Does it help if you add the line

options 3c59x enable_wol=1

to /etc/modules.conf? (This is a misnomer - enable_wol
enables the driver's power management functions).

Thanks.
