PROBLEM:        The Racal Interlan ES3210 causes system hangs with no error
                messages (silent hang) when transferring large files across a
                windows NT network.

CAUSE:          Faulty driver for the ES3210 network card is unable to process
                large data files.

SYSTEMS
AFFECTED:       All systems

SOLUTION:       This new driver has been tested by Racal and it fixes the
