It seems that there is a problem with MacTCP, in that there is a bit set
somewhere (don't ask me) that enet boards ignore, but SCSI devices don't.
It ends up hanging the SCSI bus until the bit gets reset, some other software
on your Mac is resetting it for you, then things will work fine again. I
believe that Apple is aware of this.
