mkinitrd --withavail==networking
This option pulls in all networking drivers, and loads the driver during initrd if a matching device exists. Unfortunately this sometimes can cause failures when multiple drivers support the same network card. For example, 8139too and 8139cp support an overlapping set of network cards. nash loadDrivers loads 8139too before 8139cp, while the latter is what the user needs.

Considering the drivers do their own handoff in this case, how does this
actually cause problems/

They do? Hmm... in both kvm and with a real thin client, removing 8139too from the initrd allowed NFS to work while it would consistently timeout or error out with it.
