Re: IBM Network Station (ibmnws) users

I'm running netbsd 2.0.2 on a ibmnws 1000 A53, root on NFS exported
from a suse93 linux; network performance is very bad compared to the
shark running NFS netbsd 2.0.2 off the same NFS server, although the
shark has a 10mb interface only.

I'd like to turn the ibmnws into a router/firewall but I can't seem
to get the IBM Ethernet II pcmcia card to work although the bios
reports the card correctly; the card is a ne2k compatible card I've
used with netbsd 1.6 and linux 2.2 on a x86 laptob long before so
I assume the problem is not with the card itself but with getting
the pcmcia controller configured and attached.

Hello!

Folks, does anyone have IBM Network Station 1000 or any other model of
IBM NWS? If yes, which their models and which version of NetBSD you
are running on these machines?

This information is needed to for freshly created NetBSD/ibmnws port
page:

Thank you.
