Dont be so quick to blame fastethernet for the lockups. I use PCMCIA ethernet and associated drivers and patches and have always had totaly random lockups (usualy under filesharing or high speed downloading). The fix is there, but it seems tcp stack itself isnt totalt blameless..or maybe its the cnet driver it self ..hmmm

I would have to agree with that.  When I used to use PCMCIA Ethernet on my A1200 before I sold it, the cnet.device driver would easily cause a lockup if I closed and reopened it.

The mediator doesnt use the cnet.device. i know for sure it a driver issue. I put in a x-surf today and it works perfectly with no lockups.
