Please test it with all 8390 cards and report your results back here.
Works perfectly for me. Using the MS-DOS pdtstnet, it doesn't drop a
single packet after 100,000 packets at 60 byte frames, 1500 byte
frames, and varying the size from 60 through 1500. This is on a
100Mhz Ambra Blue Lightning processor. I tried it with two NE2000
clones: an Accton with their 8390 clone.
When I repeated the test with an Addtron using a real National 8390, I
got a few packets dropped -- 0.0256% loss. That's not the important
part -- the important part is that Linux didn't crash. Yeah!!!
