In using a WD8003EB NIC on NetBSD 1.1 i386 in a system with 32MB of memory,
I get 'NIC memory corrupt, invalid packet length' messages repeated rapidly.

Do you think that the memory hole effect is causing this? Would it be cured
by changing the physmem in machdep.c to say 8 or 16MB?

If so how?

I have tested the NIC under FreeBSD and various Microsoft products (now, now
people... calm down) successfully.
