    We want to use a PS/2 Model 80 with a WD Ethercard Plus/A and NCSA
    ..... We also tried PC/TCP from FTP inc. Ver. 2.04
    but the behaviour was nearly the same.

You don't say if you were using our ETHDRV (packet driver) kernel or
the WD8003 (linked-in driver) kernel.  If the former, I would expect
that we would have the same trouble as NCSA.  If the latter, with
"2.04 pl 1" we added support for some new WD MCA cards that needed
a new bit set during initialization.  If you don't set it, it looks
like the card initialized ok, but it doesn't work.
