- Russ,
-
- I ran the BICC ISOLINK 4110-2 driver for a long time and always had the
- same problem: when telnetting into a machine with a fast Ethernet
- interface (in this case a VAX 8530) and doing a ls -l /etc,
- telnet would hang up after a while. After a lot of tracing
- I concluded that the card was loosing packets. That may of course be
- not the right conclusion. In any case I could not spot any incorrect
- code.
-
- In the meantime I've rather moved away from PCs and would not be
- available for further debugging. I'll dig out the last version of the
- driver to be offered 'as is' and perhaps with a warning. A pointer to
- a README file would be enough. Perhaps, after all, the bug is in the
- chip of my particular card and nobody else will see it. The people I sent it
- to have not reported anything.
-
- Cheers, Rainer
