I just put a DFE-530TX in an AMD Duron/256MB system yesterday, which had been working fine with a DE-530 (de4x5.o) on a 10/100 MB switched network. I booted up the system with the new card, and noticed similar weirdness: NFS from the client system (Duron - 2.4.0-ac4), hangs almost immediately when trying to contact a 2.2.18 NFS server. I get "nfs can't get task slot" errors, and "NFS server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx not responding", especially after doing a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/user/nfstest bs=16k count=4096". After checking, the file /home/user/nfstest is 8192 bytes big. The client mount is a default NFS mount, with no rsize/wsize parameters. I then replaced the DE-530 and tried the exact same scenario as above, and it works fine. The other strangeness is that while the client complains about the NFS server having disappeared, I can ping it from the same client, transfer files using scp, and still get to the internet fine. So the card is still working, but never receives a response to any NFS traffic until a reboot. Other machines on the network can NFS mount from the server without problems as well.
