>Description:
If you use ne2k driver for FreeBSD, bochs will not receive incoming packets
untill the buffer specified by bochs is full (2048). It cause connections
timeout in low traffic condition. Client OS think it losts packets, but it
actually in a BPF buffer waiting for receive.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run bochs on FreeBSD with it's fbsd ne2k module.
>Fix:
apply following patch.
