	The locking in the driver is done via the global cli/sti lock. This
	makes for relatively poor SMP performance. Switching this to use a
	per device spin lock would probably materially improve performance.
    </p></dd><dt><span class="term">Occasional Failures</span></dt><dd><p>
	We have reports of occasional failures when run for very long
	periods of time and the driver starts to receive junk frames. At
	the moment the cause of this is not clear.
