Hi,

I've switched from a 3c509 to a SMC8013EPC Combo and sometimes when I boot,
I get the well-known message :

ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 9984
ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 9984
ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 9984

Now, how does one get  rid of these  ? My network  card is unusable at that
point... The weirdest thing  happended just  after the  switch. I  had this
problem, gave up and when to bed. The day  after, I start using the network
and it worked !!!  As if sometimes during the  time, it somehow resetted or
cleared its buffer...

It  is in   0xbc000  because the  diag  program  complained  when  I put it
elsewhere. In 0xcc000 (as was another 8013 a  while ago before it died), it
would refuse to work.
