>Description:
I have several machines all with builtin ethernet using the vr driver.
There is a constant stream of messages: vr0: transmit aborted followed
by vr0: restart, sometimes every couple of seconds, sometimes a minute
apart.  I believe this is the cause of very poor NFS performance amongst
other things.   There appears to be a lot of material available reporting
problems relating to vr, but nothing suggesting solutions on the 'net.
