ISSUE:
The NW2000 driver has corrections for two problems:
1. If a frame is received that is larger than the configured
MTU size, the server hangs in the interrupt handler. Attempts to
enter the debugger fail.
2. If frames larger then 1024 bytes are transmitted, the port
may stop outputting and the monitor statistics MSMTxFreeCount
shows 0. This problem is very intermittant but occurs more often
if the line is at 100% load.
The SYNCPLUS driver has a minor table change necessary to load
the driver when NetWare is running in a Symmetrical Multi
Processor (SMP) environment.
