I have two machines with new 3Com 3C996B-T adapters using the bge0 driver
and I am having a problem with nfs.  I can mount the server from the client,
and I can cd into the mounted directory, but as soon as I do an 'ls'
command, the client appears to hang.  Strange loooking packets occasionally
show up in tcpdump with what appears to be huge, invalid port numbers and
the packets appear to be fragments?.

I can ftp to/from the server just fine.

I tried changing ETHER_ALIGN to 0, but same results.  Tried media 100baseTX
to force both cards to 100Mbps, same results.  I removed the gigabit switch
and used a crossover cable between the 2 machines, same results.

I removed the bge0 cards and put in good ol' reliable fxp0 cards using same
crossover cable and everything works fine.

Is the bge driver a complete piece of crap, or am I holding the mouse wrong?
:)

Any recommendations for a more stable GigE card over copper?
