>Description:
ASUS P2B-DS, 2 x PII-350, WDC AC310100B, Matrox G200 AGP, 128MB RAM
D-Link DE-528CT (PCI) NE2000 Clone (RealTek 8029)
Using just the SMP extensions in the kernel, got only 260 KBps receive
throughput on ftp. Observed tcpdumps - missed packet with retransmit
timeout although no TCP/IP errors were shown on netstat. NIC LEDs paused
many times for approx 1 sec. During debug of if_ed.c (printfs, DMA status
tests, etc.), noticed wd0 DMA errors???? Couldn't do anything to
appreciably improve performance - any time I did, got wd0 DMA errors.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Enable PCI, DMA, etc. flags on wdc0 controller ala:

controller     wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0x00ffa004 vector wdintr

This cleared up the problem. Now ftp rx at 1.07 MB/s.
