nfe working ok?

[Jukka Marin <jmarin%embedtronics.fi@localhost>]

Hello,

I'm running 4.0_STABLE on a dual-core athlon system with an integrated
nfe Ethernet interface.  I think the nfe driver still has some problems.
For example, when this machine acts as an NFS server and a client is
writing data to a file, my mouse pointer no longer moves smoothly, and
keyboard starts losing data.  System load is not high, only 20% or so.

When I try to stream video out of this system, the playback pauses every
few seconds.

dmesg output attached.

Is nfe working properly on other systems?

I'll try using rtk interface for a while and see if that changes anything.
