- I have expirenced a similar problem using an NE2000 ethernet board.
- The problem looks to me like a memory allocation problem on the net card
- as when configuring NFS for 8 kbyte buffersize communications hangs
- after a short time whereas configured with 1kbyte buffers it works
- alright. If anybody has suggestions how to solve or circumvent the problem
- it will be very much appreciated.
