Hi,

what is the status of the 21140-AC driver ? I have a lab of brand
new diskless machines, running 2.1.6 -- The machines with the
21140-AB work fine with the stock 2.1.6 if_de.c , the ones with
21140-AC do not. I have remade a kernel with the if_de.c taken from
netbsd; now the old cards seem not to work, and the new cards work fine
up to the point where I try to access the nfs-mounted filesystem (as
also Tim Tsai <tim@futuresouth.com> experienced.

The machine is not completely dead though, it receives and responds
properly to pings, arp requests etc. Maybe there is some mismatch with
packet sizes (nfs might use maximum-sized packets) ?

Also, a problem still remains in that I am unable to use the same
driver for both the -AB and the -AC ...

Help/comments appreciated

	Thanks
	Luigi
