 And you have a Hades060? If so, what gfx card do you use, and how much
video ram is on it, and what res to you use? There are serious issues
with the Hades and PCI DMA, which forced me to use a portion of the
gfx's video-ram as buffer for the RTL8139. Now here's a hack ;-) This
worked OK on my Hades with ET6K, but not perfect. If this is what you
have, I need to know the filename of your rtlxxx.xif file.

 For flawless networking on the Hades, you should try to get a PCI
NE2000 compatible NIC.
