Ive had problems with both 2.0 and 2.05 release with tcp/ip.

Whether I turn extended headers on or not, I get scenarios where I will 
telnet it and it will hang till i hit enter - or when using ftp from one 
bsd to another, after a few minutes its like I lost connection and cant 
ls - with the news spooler sometimes not all the active file makes it over.

Im wondering if its the ne2000 clone cards or a generally weak tcp/ip.

Does anyone have any ethernet card recommendations?  Or any ideas?
