+<title>NFS client with a 3Com 3c400 (<code>ec</code>) card</title>
+
+<para>The 3Com 3c400 (<code>ec</code>) Multibus Ethernet card can only
+buffer two received Ethernet packets, regardless of their length,
+before it starts dropping packets. Unless overridden, an NFS client
+read requests 8 kilobytes at a time. This means six or more packets
+will be sent by the server, usually quickly enough to fill the card
+and cause the third and subsequent packets to get dropped.</para>
+
+<para>NFS has an all-or-nothing mentality about it, so the client will
+throw away any packets it did get and just send the request again,
+making for a vicious cycle. The solution is to tell NFS to only
+request 1 kilobyte at a time, done by adding an option to the client's
+mount command:</para>
