[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] PCIP WD/Interlan

  Recently we purchased a WD8003 card and I compiled the Harvard version
of PCIP for it, and got it working. Well mostly working. I have tested 
the card on various machines now. I tryed it on a PC AT (a real one), and
a convertable (real IBM again) running the netwatch program. It starts up
fine and runs for a while then seems to just get garbage. So far I have
tryed various memory adx D000, D800, C000,...  My first guess is the
driver is some how overrunning its buffer space. I also tryed it on my
Zenith 386 and so no problems, but maybe I didn't wait long enough.

Anyone have any ideas on this???


Also I have been trying to get the code to work with a Interlan NI5210
with no success. So far I have tested the Harvard PCIP code with a 3com501,
and this WD8003 and only the NI5210 seems to be completely hosed. Can anyone
help here?

thanks

	The ni5210 driver was completely broken.  The version in newpcip.tar.Z
is better and I will have an even better version shortly.
