RE: etherboot 3.2: NE2000-32 hangs

["William A. Arbaugh" <waa@dsl.cis.upenn.edu>]

The problem is probably in the PCI code.  I had this problem with the EEPRO100 and the solution
involved fixing some of the PCI code.  Look at the etherboot home page. Ken has posted my patches
and they may solve your problem or at least get you part of the way.
