Not just Windows.

We found that 3com Torando/Vortex/Boomerang family cards will start
barfing all over the network(*) under high loads under Linux (especially
on older(**) boxes with high NFS traffic)

This also happened (but nowhere near as badly) with cheap and nasty 1Gb/s
NE2k NICs (realtek R8193) I dropped in as replacements.

(*) Not jabbering, but traffic from the NIC starts appearing on all
network ports, somehow becoming unswitchable. This appears to be a Linux
networking stack issue.

(**) P3-600-1Ghz and early P4s
