Yes, that's definitely been my experience in the past, so I was
pleasantly surprised when this started working properly. I did force
everything to full duplex last night, and still got the occasional
nfs stall, although I have a new theory to examine.
Meanwhile, I did some NIC shopping on line last night, and am I
correct in thinking that Intel has dropped the word "Etherexpress" from
their name for our beloved fxp card? I saw lots of ads for "Intel Pro
100+" with the 82559 chip, but they didn't say etherexpress. My search of
the mail logs certainly indicates that they're the same, but I want to be
sure before I plop down the cash.
Thanks,
Doug
