I check the logs after rebooting following a crash.  I don't really 
understand what it all means though.  I am pretty sure it is a flashed 
PC card that was sold as a "Mac compatible" card.  I think the firmware 
update messed up the flash.  I am going to try and get my money back 
and find a real Mac edition card.  So much for saving a few bucks.
