Greetings:

I have just installed 4.1 on my Toshiba 305 CDS laptop.

Under 3.4 with PAO everything worked fine including a Linksys
10/100 EtherFast NIC, a Xircom CreditCard Modem, and a 3Com
Megahertz 574B.

The Linksys seemed to be working fine, it could ping, telnet ftp and do
nfs file system mounts fine. I could tar up and move large directories
from one machine to another by ftp, but as soon as I tried to move
anything big over an nfs mount, it would hang. An empty file with no
permssion attributes would be created on the receiving system, the
lights would stop blinking and the process could not be killed.

I thought I had a nfs configuration problem, but when I swapped the 3Com
NIC for the Linksys, everything worked. nfs with identical configuration
works fine between my two desktop machines with different NICs.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
