Well nothing super interesting....rebooting to 5.9 hard locked the
machine once the adapter associated, before I could do much.
Rebooting back to 5.10 and it booted fine (I'm sending this email with
it).  There's definitely something non deterministic causing the
driver to work occasionally and fail/panic a bit more often.  Are
there other memory / device allocation settings I can tweak to see if
something settles it down?
