Your not Trolling in my book. It is a hardware design FUBAR that was found after getting DMA and then UDMA working. Something causes a bus collision when UDMA is used while the networking is active. It seems to be only a concern for current A1 users. It is being fixed in the next A1 batch and microA1s. Read the link posted above.
It should have been caught in the design phase. It's not an Artica issue. It's a few traces in the wrong place. Disappointing to finally hear that DMA is working, UDMA is working and then find another problem. One which causes DMA issues.
Edit: Okay, It appears to not be a Hardware design FUBAR on the A1. That's what I get for reading ANN. The problem is with the VIA, "a problem with the VIA not obeying the PCI protocol properly." as stated by Eyetech.
