Hi all

Trying to find a solution to a few (possibly related) problems

1. Set up 'basic' 486/25 with 2*130Mb disks, 8Mb and DEC DE101 (DEPCA) IRQ5
0x300 0xD8000, everything probed OK, into the ftp install, connect to my
WIN95 box (with ftp download site) everything installs OK...

2. Set up a 'larger' box 486/100 500MB disk 32Mb CDROM etc, add SAME DEC
DE101 again, everything probes ok, into ftp install, connects, starts to
transfer the first disk image BANG nothing... system hung... swap out for
another DE101 again nothing, swap out DE101 for a DE205 (same IRQ etc) again
same null response, ftp connects ok starts transfer then nothing, server log
indicates nothing amiss.

3. Swap out the larger disk into box 1., put back original DE101, build
system via ftp OK, swap disk into larger box, add the DE205 (same IRQ...)
seems OK, network up, pings OK, telnets to/from OK but any ftp session
freezes after 1024K transferred.

a) What am I doing wrong...

b) How 'generic' is the NE2000 support, as if the DEC cards have let me down
I need an alternative (although I also tried an Accton 1602, which RedHat
probes/uses OK as an NE2000) failed dismally with FreeBSD.
