I just switched one of our rf routers (using a PI2 card) from 2.0.37 with
the pi driver to 2.2.13 with the dmascc driver. While it seems to run OK
on a P75, the new stuff didn't seem to work as well as the pi driver on
a couple of 386's ... (lost packets due to Tx overuns). This may not be
the dmascc drivers fault per se though, as I recall trying both the pi and
dmascc drivers earlier with a 2.0 kernel and they seemed equivalent.
