The problem is that certain-sized fragmented packets get truncated by
the card when the card is programmed in a mode to use some new features
that this particular Ethernet chip has available.  In the short term,
the solution to your problem is to patch your copy of the fxp driver so
that this chip is treated like an older model.  If you can't do that,
then change your NFS mount options to use TCP, which will avoid the
packet fragmentation.


We already use TCP for the NFS mounts and I still see the exact same
problems
