Hello world:
I had post a question about the NFS and XFree86. It is solved
in as following.
(1) With ne2000 ethernet card must set the rsize=1024 as
suggested by Ken Raeburn (Thanks !). I had tried 2048, 4096 with no
success. (I can compile the kernel with 4096 though.)
(2) For some reason, when the XFree86 is at NFS, the /dev/com1
(/dev/com2) has to be writable bye users. By adding the write
permission to the /dev/com?, solved the cannot open mouse: permission
denied problem. (If XFree86 reside at local drive, read only is
sufficient.)
Still, I am interesting in improving the ftp speed for local
network transfer, if anyone have been working on a new driver for
ne2000. I have tested the transfer speed for ne2000 card on NCSA ftp
(30Kbyte/sec), OS/2 ftp (200Kbyte/sec), and 386bsd (25Kbyte/sec). The
OS/2 ftp speed is much reasonable for 10Mbit/sec ethernet.
Eric
