CPU: Pentium/P55C (199.31-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x544  Stepping = 4
  Features=0x8001bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX>
dc0: <LC82C115 PNIC II 10/100BaseTX> port 0x7c00-0x7cff mem 
0xffafbf00-0xffafbfff irq 9 at device 8.0 on pci0

The patch seems to work fine on my system, never had and collision problems 
before, so no regression.
