It is running 2.2.6-RELEASE and using a 3COM 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI. I saw a similar problem with NeXTStep running on PCs years ago which was caused by limited buffer space on the NIC. I found an archived article from this list at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=866806+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/1997 /freebsd-questions/19970817.freebsd-questions that supports this theory. Can someone suggest a 100bt NIC for which there are freebsd drivers that has sufficient buffers for 8k NFS packets? I would prefer something with at least 32k of buffer space. Thanks.
