The new firmware is *supposed* to support NFS but I haven't played
with it yet. Presumably they have enabled the kernel space version
(note the user-space version of nfs doesn't work properly with hard links).

I'm just saying that when I recompiled the kernel 2.6.12.6 on earlier
versions of the firmware, I ran into directory listing corruption when
using nfs mounting of ext3 shares (but not with ext2). Since the 1.08
firmware still uses the 2.6.12.6 firmware and since it appears that
dlink didn't knowingly or explicitly patch the drivers, I am concerned
that the error may still persist. I haven't yet had the time (or
desire) to test the new firmware since my dns-323 has been running
rock stable for 6 months.
