Yes.  I had NetBSD running on a DS207, although I haven't turned it on for
a few months, as I'm using a QNAP TS-201 at the moment.

I saw this when I was trying to netboot my DS207, and I ended up increasing
the number of receive descriptors to 8 in altboot.  See the thread "Synology
PPCBoot SK98 network bug fix" starting at:

  http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/port-sandpoint/2011/05/thread1.html

(I never did manage to get altboot to netboot on the DS207 with the default
2 receive descriptors.)  Not sure if this is the same problem though.

Thanks,
