We have a IRIS 140 and our ethernet would slow then stop to the 140, if
we ran on the integrated ethernet controller.  We swapped to a VME 
controller and the ethernet has not failed.  This problem only occurred
on our 4 CPU 140.  the PI's give no trouble.  This problem occurred in 
IRIX 3.2  I have not tested it under IRIX 3.2.1.
