My config: NetBSD 0.8, no additional patches, just recompiled kernel for
		   we-interface and nfs server/client support.

Hardware:  80486DX/33 SIS-Chipset
		   16 MB RAM
		   Adaptec 1542B + 1GB Fujitsu
		   SMC EtherCard PLUS Elite 16 (WD 8013 compatible)

DOS PC:    80386/40 Forex-Chipset
		   4 MB RAM
		   MFM-Controller + 40 MB Seagate
		   SMC EtherCard PLUS Elite 16

On the DOS-PC I use the direct support for WD8003 cards with PC NFS.
Might there be any problem with access-rights to the ethernet interface
whatsoever?
