I built dosbox SVN 3858 and added the ne2000 patch [unrelated: also voodoo patch], and have a working Wfw 3.11 installation.
The network appears to work fine. It gets an address from the DHCP server, and I can ping fine locally and the internet at large. But if I am dealing with a large bit of data (large being something over say, 25k), the speed slows to a crawl, quickly going to 0. This manifests as a failure to load images on webpages, or to copy files from a network share.
I don't know how to diagnose, and thus correct this issue. The network basically works fine, but peters out fairly quickly. I built with libpcap-dev 0.8, which was all that my distro had on offer. But I don't even know if that's the issue.
