I am experiencing dropped packets as sundance RX side when simple nfs copying takes places. These are at a rate of about 1-2% of RX packets. I call it "weird" because I cannot see a definitive problem location in the driver source. fact stays one simple copy drops packets, something I never saw in the same setup (same cabling, same mainboard) with tulip cards. I know that this is a hell of a "bug-report", but I really want to point out only a strange difference between tulip-setup and sundance-setup. -- Regards, Stephan
