I've got an NFS server running netbsd-1.6 i386, and a laptop machine
NFS mounting a filesystem from the server.
The filesystem mount is accessible, however when I try to cat a large
file, the cat command hangs, and in fact is not breakable with ^C.
cat on small files works fine.
The client is running 1.6I i386 with a wireless card. The wireless
card might be related. Its a wavelan silver that shows up as wi0.
Seems to work fine in every other way.
Any ideas on what to look at? I've included some settings below. One
obvious thing I could try would be to upgrade both boxes to 1.6.1.
Another would be to try the cat command with a regular ethernet card.

/etc/exports on the server has just this line:
/export -alldirs -maproot=root -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/etc/fstab on the client contains this line:
thelonious:/export /thelonious nfs rw,auto 0 0
