If it is indeed an ethernet driver issue, why does
nfs cause errors when transferring file _to_ to the server only? Transfers from the server to the client cause absolutely no errors.

The bottom line is that this is a known bug in the Ethernet driver. I'll ask the author of that driver whether he looked into these problems already. I hope this can be resolved in time for etch but I'm not sure this will really happen. In any case, I'm downgrading this bug because Debian itself doesn't include the microcode needed for IXP4xx Ethernet, so this isn't a release critical bug for Debian. However, I still hope we can find a solution. |
