Most of the time it works quite well, but I frequently see "hangs" which are almost always associated with a "CRC error" message on the console. By "hangs" I mean noticeable delays in echoing in an xterm or when ftp'ing. BTW I'm using the card with 10B5 (aka cheapernet). With my trusty old NE2000 clone I never saw this behavior. Otherwise the driver is quite good. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - gjennejohn@frt.dec.com
