eepro100 and nfs - mission impossible ?
Hello,
the problems with the eepro100 driver in conjunction with NFS driving me mad. I'm using NFS very heavy for compiling and installing (both: autofs and hand mounted shares).
Processes often hanging while accessing files on NFS shares (I have seen a cp process hanging after aprox. 100MB on exactly the same point of the file, regardless how often I tried).
I use Lion's with BIOS 76 with the latest SuSE and Red Hat distros. The e100 driver does not work as well.
Are there any chances to get it running???
cu,
Jan

This is *not* a problem with the eepr100 driver. It's a bug in the eepro firmware. A relatively easy workaround is to install your own network adapter and ignore the built-in one.

You are absolutely correct in the diagnosis of the problem.
BIOS 79 fixes this problem. I haven't checked if it is released yet.
