I too found this - rachel will be moving back to the updated Friedl
driver sometime tomorrow at a guess.

The NFS was much more stable, but also much much more slow. (I used
to have to wait about 10 seconds for a copy of the kernel to be copyed
to the NFS mounted /ftp area - with the new driver, it was about a
minute).
