[BUG] IBM440GX works too slow under nfsroot

[Daren Hayward]

What revision of the CPU do you have?? I know that upto rev C half duplex
has a problem with the cpu and only REV C silicon works if I am not
mistaken, there is an errata on IBM's website about this

Wow, I really had to spend some time to find such ancient hw :). I'll 
try 2.4.27 with this hub during next couple of days (I'm a little busy 
right now) and let you know. I suspect nobody really tested EMAC driver 
in 10Mb HDX mode.

You can also bug Matt Porter, maybe he'll help you sooner :).
