We just installed 2.1.0 from CDROM and installed a 
Intel EtherExpress card.

The problem is that we have been getting device
timeout errors:
	Jun  6 10:54:57 rebec /kernel: ix0: device timeout

This is very bothersome and when using NFS we believe that
it leads to lost packets.

At boot time, the kernel says:

Jun  6 10:44:46 rebec /kernel: ix0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 maddr 0xd0000 msize 32768 on isa
Jun  6 10:44:47 rebec /kernel: ix0: address 00:aa:00:a8:a2:51


I recompiled a kernel and commented-out all drives/devices that
we don't have but this didn't seem to change the situation.


Please Help!

Thanks,
Dave
