Warner,

it depends on network characteristics. In our case, we were unable to do
NFS over the Linksys PCMPC100 cards, because fragment bursts of large (9K)
packets arrived too fast at 100Mbps. It looked like the driver was too
slow in taking them off the card, and the card started to drop the later
fragments, which killed reassembly.

Enabling a larger on-card buffer fixed this (in some sense) because it
allowed buffering of an entire burst of fragments, and so reassembly
succeeds. It also looked like the inter-fragment delay is shorter than the
inter-packet delay for our NFS server.

Another workaround was to force NFS to use small packets for the
mountpoint, there is some mount option to do that.

Lars

PS: This was all from memory, so I could be wrong about some details, but
I *think* this is the gist of it.
