:I will gladly test out the patch, but what was the original problem that
:people were having with this NIC ?

Well, my box is network-booted and nfs mounted. What happened
to me was that everything locked up (e.g. because NFS was
suddenly inoperable). It recovered itself 5 minutes later.
Right now I'm running torture tests with the patch. No lockups
so far, but I do see an occassional 'vr0: rx packet lost' on
the console (about two dozen so far). I haven't messed around
too much with the BIOS pci parameters yet. Does anyone know
how large vr0's on-chip FIFOs are?
