On the offchance that mty problems were chipset related, I swapped the RealTek with the de0 card in my other machine, a 233MHz k6. It being a socket 7 mboard presumably has a later PCI bios. Still the same symptoms - hangs on NFS access. These can be interrupted and other network traffic continues fine. To reproduce, take your RealTek equipped machine and place a copy of /usr/src on it. Export /usr/src so that it can be NFS mounted by other machines. From the other machines, do an ls -CFR of /usr/src. It will hang partway through.
