[This is from a -stable email from 11/30/00 titled "Re: Linksys PCMPC100 problem"] Another piece to the puzzle of bad network performance of the Linksys cards is that they're only supported as generic NE2000 cards with 8K of memory by the ed driver. 1.5K are used for the send buffer, 6.5K remain for the receive buffer. This is a shortcoming of the ed driver, since the Linksys cards have 32K of memory. If a sender sends large packets to a Linksys cards (NFS over UDP), the IP fragments arrive too fast and overrun the buffer. The last fragment(s) are lost and the wohle packet is dropped. The patch below fixes a small bug in the ed driver that causes only 8K instead of 16K (as normal for 16bit cards) to be used. However, full support for the Linksys cards should really be added to the ed driver. The code in http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=12088 looks promising, but doesn't apply cleanly due to bitrot.
