I tried for several days to bring up a 4.1 server using a Compaq NetFlex-2
card.  IPX and IP worked fine; AppleTalk didn't.  I was told by the local
computing staff that there is a problem with the later NetFlex-2 LAN
driver (which comes with a revised ETHERTSM and MSM) which causes problems
when used with older revisions of the Cisco router code (our router is an
older unit).  I tried using earlier revisions and that didn't work; I eventually
replaced the card with a 3Com 3C579 which worked immediately.

Has anyone run into this?  Fixes?  The same server under 3.12 crashed  under
heavy loads (ARCserve) until I replaced the LAN driver, so I suspect that I
need to use the most recent Compaq drivers.
