No, you didn't. BLOB isn't mentioned anywhere on my site.

Through a PC card adapter? You're using the card via Neponset? Which kernel and
patch versions are you using? Is the following code part of your
drivers/net/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.c?
/* This causes frame _header_ (this routine) and frame _data_

There are a number of outstanding problems associated with that card on Assabet
& Neponset. The symptom of UDP-based applications working (albeit slowly), while
TCP apps fail completely suggests that frame corruption is occurring somewhere. The
current driver has fixes for the problems I know about.
