Hi,

2.0.33, I see these messages on nfs clients. I have never seen them
on nfs servers, but that is not a proof of anything since I have 10
times more clients than servers.

I do not have ISDN here, only ethernet cards, the problem has been seen
with 3c509 cards as well as tulip (dec21140) cards.

Alan Cox e-mailed me asking me to try 2.0.34pre2 or later in which there
are NFS fixes. I have compiled and distributed the kernel, but I haven't
done any forced reboots to activate it. We'll see...
