	Hello,
We got a very strange problem (really).
We have a Western Digital ethernet card which is
configured ok and 386BSD works with it pretty well
except one exact case:

1) When it works well:
	Two or more incoming or outgoing telnet
	sessions are pretty nice and fast.

2) When it doesn't :
	When we try to use ftp it connects ok,
	but while opening a data connection 386BSD
	writes on screen something like this:

trap type = 12 code = 2 eip = fe000806 cs = 8 eflags = 10686
cr2 fe5a6ffc cpl 212
panic trap

	And reboots the machine.

So why it don't like ftp over WD so much. (BTW, slip is ok).
(FTP from 386BSD (putting) works ok, but receiving leads to crash).
Also rcp to the 386BSD crashes the machine, why ?

Our configuration for Western Digital is:
device we0 at isa? port 0x2a0 net irq 2 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 8192 vector weintr

Any ideas, suggestions ?

						Regards, Alexander.
