I've been working to get my NE2000 compatible card to work properly
with NFS mounts. I've searched postings to this group and found a
patch by 'curt@toad.com' which I have applied to my sources. I've tried
different rsize and wsize settings including the magic '4K' number all
to no avail. When I try writing to an NFS-mounted file system my machine,
for all intents and purposes, locks up. I get silo overflows if I move
my mouse when running X. There are numerous isr 14 and isr 94 messages
logged. What am I missing here? Is anyone successufully using NFS with
an NE2000 card? If so, what have you done to get it working? Should I
just throw away my card and get a WD card?

Thanks!
