OK -- I have a 3c509B-TP.  When the change was added, it began being very
problematic.  basically after a fairly small amount of data passes over it
(like a single small web page or opening a mailbox index) it would stop
passing data and start dishing out "no buffer space" messages.  I would
have posted earlier but the problem had already been mentioned.
