I can confirm this is happening on one ; of our Lions as well. The Big Sur (also with eepro100) is fine ; though. The Lion has 4GB and the Big Sur only 1GB of RAM. If I am right it's not the offset but it's rather the data combined with a certain fragmentation of the packets, if you use these two files to "cp" them over nfs you should see the hang at 0 bytes transfered, don't know yet why not all systems are affected, I am still working on it. ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/people/visitor/0xdeadbeef/ -- No Kernel Hackers were harmed during writing of this email. -Dragan
