Sometime the cards needs a 'jump start'. I've seen it where I start
ping...it would fail and I would stop it after a few seconds. Start
another ping, and it would fail. Start yet another ping, and after failing
about 8 times, I would see some I/O errors, then the board would kick in,
and for the rest of that session be OK.
