I confirm that this is happening for me with a
wireless nfs client. I have not tested wired ethernet.
My wireless adapter is ipw2200 (centrino laptop), and I am using Debian
kernel's driver version 1.1.2kmq, kernel 2.6.18-3-686.
However, as I reported in a previous email, I have had problems with
samba too, although with less frequency. That is, in nfs almost every
such large transfer gets corrupted. In samba though, every few
transfers one gets corrupted. Samba transfer rate is about 40% of nfs
rate (B/s).

yesterday I reinstalled Etch on my NSLU2 and hit this bug with NFS.
I should note, though, that while this problem shows every time I
transfer a big file (700MB) from my laptop to the NSLU2 over 802.11g
WLAN, I can't always reproduce it when I transfer the same file from my
desktop system over 100Mbps Ethernet
You see the same bug when you transfer data via _wireless_ instead of
Ethernet? That's very odd because I'm fairly sure this is a bug in
the Ethernet driver rather than in NFS or something. If you really
see this with wireless this would of course change everything.
Unfortunately I don't have a USB wifi connector so I cannot test this
myself.
Which wifi device are you using? And are you sure you see the same
NFS problem as reported in this bug when you transfer via wifi?
