Description wghicks 1999-10-17 21:40:01 UTC 
Apparently the Ziatech BIOS doesn't enable busmastering for their
Dec/Intel 21X4X devices, causing the cards to fail initialization
with the message: 'deX: autosense failed: cable problem?'

After investigating the problem for some time, Mike Smith suggested
setting the PCI configuration busmaster bit.

Thanks Mike!  This solved the problem and makes FreeBSD work for
several models of Ziatech CompactPCI systems here.  I'm not sure
if this should be dealt with at a higher level but this driver
specific patch got me going here :-)

How-To-Repeat: 
100% reproducible.

Is this patch still required with more recent releases?
