It's been very stable for me (but then I wrote it so if it's stable for
anyone then that should be me).  I'm using it under 2.0.5 as my default
network connection.  I've also done some testing using ttcp and have
gotten quite decent results (receiving at ~94Mb/s using ttcp with 12%
idle on a P90 with 512KB PB cache).

I'd be interested as well to how well the FDDI support is doing.
