Subject: HAS ANYONE PATCHED THE IF_NE.C NE2000/1000 ETHERNET DRIVER

	I'm wondering if anyone has bothered to try and patch the Novell
Ne2000/1000  thernet driver distributed with 386BSD and NetBSD?
I have Version 7.4, dated 5/21/91.  If anyone has a later driver that seems
to work with NFS, that would be wonderful.  Specifically, I've reduced the
readsize and writesize of the standard NFS packet to 2048 bytes, but the
Sun NFS servers still overrun the driver.  I haven't tried 1024, but it
seems we're getting down to the range of unacceptable behavior.  Any
suggestions would be great!
-thanks
