Very similar to the things I had with 2.1.8. Finally, replacing
ncrBsd with Drew's driver (53c7,8xx) and everything was fine.
I use some advanced IP stuff (masquerading), I suppose
to be a bad interaction between new TCP/IP stuff and
ncrBsd. Long long shot..

I don't use IDE at all.

# Networking options

CONFIG_FIREWALL=y

CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y
# CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_VERBOSE=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y

#
# Protocol-specific masquerading support will be built as modules.
#
# CONFIG_IP_TRANSPARENT_PROXY is not set
CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG=y
CONFIG_IP_ACCT=y
# CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set
# CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set

CONFIG_NE2000=y

I have two ne 2000, one PCI and
one ISA, both clone (always working fine).
