Regarding the 8K buffer on the typical WD8003....
I've got a WD8003WT (one AUI and one lattisnet RJ45 connector)
It has jumpers that sets the amount of memory to either 8K or 32K.
I was getting the ring buffer overflow messages until I set it to
32K and recompile the kernel with the 'iosiz 32768' (sp?) option
on the ed0.
I don't know which wd8003 boards supported the 32k shared memory,but
it's something to check on your board.
