I don't think so, simply because this has happened to me on two compeletely different Linux systems. One (griffon) has a 3c59x card, and the other (dwarf) had a tulip and an ne2k-pci.

I haven't tried that yet, but after discussing this with another person who was having the same problems, we learned that OpenBSD's firewall (pf) was blocking the Linux packets when configured with "scrub in all" (which is recommended in the OpenBSD FAQs). After commenting out the "scrub in all" and rebooting back to 2.4.20, I have X and NFS working simultaneously. --=20 Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." greg@wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ | --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (OpenBSD) iD8DBQE+mGXAkAkqAYpL9t8RAohjAKDF61A1hE7sJLmPDQOKINuSeD3legCgqc+1 lntcJ+vDpzrdIpHXbz1HqA4= =Zkst -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe--
