@kas1e

I tried to download 215 MB file and it got to 57% then the whole machine locked up.

Just popping in

This NIC sounds very unusual. I think you mentioned that there is no publicly available documentation? Is the Linux driver in the main kernel source, and what's it called?

Btw, may i ask why in your driver you use EmulateTags() copy for RX/TX/etc ? Just for having same code working for os3/os4 , or there were other reasson for ?

Yes, to have compatibility with OS3/AROS/MorphOS. Also, I don't think I was aware of an alternative approach when I first wrote those drivers.

Also can we call ReadConfigLong() from IRQ context ? Probably not ?

AFAIR you're only allowed to call system functions that explicitly say they are interrupt-safe (but I could well be wrong). Is there dynamic information in the config registers that can't be cached during initialisation?

BTW I usually use a local FTP server for network testing. Ping in flood mode can be useful for stress testing too, but unfortunately Roadshow's ping command doesn't allow that.
