b1000 fmadm qce error

I'm running a Blade 1000 with a Gigabit-Quad-Ethernet Card on Sol10
8/07 (all recent patches applied).

For a couple of days now I get error messages on boot, but internet access
still works. "fmadm faulty" gives this:

Sun's web site shows the same text as this. Any idea what's wrong with the
hardware (PCI-bridge on motherboard or nic)?

Hmmm, well, commenting on this myself:
Google found several posts concerning this problem,
looks like a bad driver issue - hopefully this goes away with a future
patch....

# showrev -p | grep 118777
Patch: 118777-13 Obsoletes: 121189-04 Requires: Incompatibles: Packages:
SUNWced, SUNWcea, SUNWcedu

Since a lot of Blade 1000/2000 and 280 are affected this is a general
O/S issue to be resolved.
