The EtherExpress is practically unusable on a Pentium 100, although
I had decent results with a 486DX33 and earlier '70's kernels. I get
repeated
Mar 19 10:59:30 sandy kernel: eth0: CU wedged, status 0140 0000, resetting...

on the machine with EtherExpress. And UDP bad checksums on the other side:

Mar 19 10:58:38 deanna kernel: UDP: bad checksum. From C0A80197:677 to C0A80101:2049 ulen 148

The resetting and recovery is tragic since I was able to complete an
entire kernel compile apparently without hard error, only to have the
link fail due to bad object code. Source code was NFS'ed, and object
code was created on the machine with the EtherExpress.
