Just in case this can help.  I lowered the speed of the NIC to 10M,
and got no more problems.

If this is not a problem with the 100Mbps code (is it different ???),
surely is a problem with packet loss.

// Hi,
// 
//   I'm having lots of problems with NFS deadlocks in my recent configuration.
// Both client and server are 2.2-STABLE, with 3c905 100Mbps ethernet boards.
// Right now, for example, I have a netscape and am elm locked.  If this helps,
// here's the output of a "ps -axlww | grep nfs" on the client:

// gaia:/usr       /gaia/usr       nfs     rw,soft,intr,bg,nfsv2,dumbtimer 0      0
// gaia:/var       /gaia/var       nfs     rw,soft,intr,bg,nfsv2,dumbtimer 0      0
// gaia:/extra     /gaia/extra     nfs     rw,soft,intr,bg,nfsv2,dumbtimer 0      0
// 
// Using option "tcp" helps a lot, but if the server reboots, the client does
// not reconect.  "nfsv2" and "dumbtimer" seem to have helped, but did not
// solve the problem.
// 
// Is there anything I can do to help debug this ?
