I Have just gotten an IBM PC750 Pentium 100 /w 16 MB Ram.

I have removed the 1GB IDE Drive
I have Installed a Buslogic KT-946C Fast SCSI PCI Controller and a 1GB HDU
I have also Installed Two Kingston KNE2021LC NE2000 Ethernet Cards.

This machine is destined to be used as a Firewall with NetBSD-1.0.

My Problem is that after I setup the networking and try to FTP to my server
I get the Following error:

NIC Memory Error  :  Packet Size to large (some outrageous packet size)

I also noticed that when NetBSD is doing the hardware sensing an error occurs
with the Buslogic Controller, It reports that it cannot do a mode sense on the
Hard drive attached and that it must use Ficticious parameters.

The hard drive/controller/network cards are all ones that have worked togeather
successfully with NetBSD in the past in other PC's  The only difference seems
to be the IBM PC750.

If anyone has run into this or a similar problem and could provide any insight
would you please E-Mail me or post to this group any information that you
have.

Thank you in advance.
